In Belgium the fathers and mothers of the petite bourgeoisie, or lower-middle class, seem always to go about on holidays with their children. They dine at half-past twelve, and after dinner off they go, the parents arm-in-arm, and the children strolling before them, and spend the rest of the day together.
Only the lower-middle classes spoke of "ladies." But he found himself mentally using the word again as he watched Miss Alicia. It had been "ladies" who had fluttered and been anxious about a man in this quite pretty way. He could scarcely remove his eyes from her as he sipped his wine.
The rogue, like the artist and perhaps the gentleman, belongs to no class. He is not embarrassed by the <i sans gene> of the hobo, nor put out of countenance by the etiquette of the prince. But Mrs. Nichols belonged to the well-defined class, of late become vocal, which is known as the lower-middle. Her father, in fact, was a policeman. I am certain that he was an efficient one.
Father Beryl voted "Dad" a little lower-middle class Father had somehow become connected with some great business establishment of which Mother was the head. Together they were making pots of money. In 1907, also, they became aware that their new mother was not alone in the world. She turned out to be the mother of Mrs.

Patronage of the Arts is to the cultivated classes what religious practice is to the lower-middle, the homage that matter pays to spirit, or, amongst the better sort, that intellect pays to emotion. Neither the cultivated nor the pious are genuinely sensitive to the tremendous emotions of art and religion; but both know what they are expected to feel, and when they ought to feel it.
Tom and Alona, their gazes locked, now holding both hands, seemed to glow somehow in the lower-middle class splendor of the trailer home. Betty, watching the exchange with incredulous eyes, finally sighed and her own hands slipped together over her heart. Ritchie, noting his wife's reaction, allowed himself an ironic smile. "Oh, for crying out loud," he muttered. "Tom!"
Yet he had formulated the monstrous theory that 'our family' must either succumb to the lower-middle class or die out because of our unfortunate luck with our women. It was one of those propositions which are simply preposterous in theory, but perfectly true in fact.
A natural tendency towards the lower-middle class, if you please! And I was just on the point of telling him about my sweetheart in Genoa! Going into the bath-room, I almost fell into a porcelain bath set in flush with the floor. A huge basin full of hot water stood ready under the nickelled faucets. Soaps of many colours lay at hand. No luck with our women, observe.
