The quote from the excerpt is A "A backwoodsman, who had been sent to the university, told me that, when he heard the best-bred young men at the law school talk together, he reckoned himself a boor; but whenever he caught them apart, and had one to himself alone, then they were the boors, and he the better man"

What was the quote?

Considering what might be inferred from this is about how the backwoodsman who had been sent to the university was able to inform him that he considered himself a boor when he overheard the most intelligent young men at the law school talking among themselves.

However that when he caught them off guard and had one to himself, then they were the fool and he was the better man."
