Finding us distinguished, as a nation, by our love of athletic exercises, the little man, in the innocence of his heart, devoted himself impromptu to all our English sports and pastimes whenever he had the opportunity of joining them; firmly persuaded that he could adopt our national amusements of the field by an effort of will precisely as he had adopted our national gaiters and our national white hat.

We can see that the little boy is innocent. He does not consider things and acts without much thinking. As a result, he involves himself in traditional activities persuaded by others with the idea that he will internalize these activities by trying hard. The boy is constantly acting without analyzing things and being influenced by others. He takes impromptu actions.
