Punch, 'Taking great interest in your Snob Papers, we are very anxious to know under what class of that respectable fraternity you would designate us. 'We are three sisters, from seventeen to twenty-two. 'We CAN afford to take in a stamped edition of YOU, and all Dickens' works as fast as they come out, but we do NOT keep such a thing as a PEERAGE or even a BARONETAGE in the house.
I must buy a "Peerage" for one thing, and a "Baronetage," and a "House of Commons," and a "Landed Gentry," and learn what people are about me. 'I must go to Doctors' Commons and read up wills of the parents of any likely gudgeons I may know.
