"There are some men born with a vagrant strain in the blood, an unsatiable inquisitiveness about the world beyond their doors. Natural revolutionaries they, with an ingrained distaste for the routine of ordinary life and the conventions of civilization. The average common-sense Englishmen distrusts the Vagabond for his want of sympathy with established law and order. Eccentricity and unconventionality smack to him of moral obliquity... Restlessness, then, is one of the notes of the Vagabond temperament. Sometimes the Vagabond is a physical, sometimes only an intellectual wanderer; but in any case there is about him something of the primal wildness of the woods and hills."
