But this again is the reaction of an old fogey, for whom an opera like this can only be a national disgrace.
I am sorry that that feeling is not shared by my colleagues here—that phalanx of distinguished fogeys, young and old.

He must know that the combined forces of bureaucratic inertia, backwoodsmen, backwoodswomen, and old and young fogeys could delay the changes for years and years.
After all, it is probable that we are regarded simply as just a lot of old fogeys who do not like these things very much.
It is very silly to ask every generation to moderate itself and palliate with old institutions and old fogeys when what is needed is modernisation.
