They sat some time over and after their dinner, as if they were waiting for something or somebody. At last a man better-class commercial traveller-looking sort of man came in and went up to them. He sat down and had a glass of wine, and they all three talked very confidential talk, you could see. At last they all left and went down to the yard outside the station and got into a taxi-cab all three.
Whatever one may feel of instinctive dislike, the open-minded observers of the historical progress of Germany, all recognize that Germany would not be in the foremost place she now occupies in the competitive markets of the world, if she had not had the patriotic, intelligent, and skilful backing of her better-class Jewish citizens.
The "introduction," in cases where you have no mutual friend to do the introducing, is somewhat more difficult but can generally be arranged as follows: Procure a few feet of stout manila rope or clothes-line, from any of the better-class hardware stores. Fasten the rope across the sidewalk in front of the residence about six inches or a foot from the ground.
This room had dark-blue wall-paper, electric lights heavily shaded, and soft heavy carpets. The table itself was flooded with light the rest of the room was dusk. I wondered as I looked about me why the Wilderlings had taken Lawrence as a paying guest. Before my visit I had imagined that they were poor, as so many of the better-class Russians were, but here were no signs of poverty.
The bundles of wrappings have kept their form to the present day and it seems as if the mummy were still intact; but an examination of the interior shows only loose bones. Successful mummification appears among better-class people in the New Empire for the first time and becomes a general custom in the Late Period.

Altogether, the better-class women here are far more wideawake and civilized than those of the Neapolitan province; a result of their stern patriarchal up-bringing and of their possessing more or less sensible husbands. Thus fortified, I strolled about the streets.
The majority were the daughters of professional men, and of gentle- folks of limited means; but there was also a sprinkling of the daughters of better-class artisans, who paid High School fees at a cost of much self-denial in order to train their girls for teachers' posts in the future. Here and there an awkward, badly-dressed child was plainly of a still lower class.
Here, then, the major found everything as he left it on his last visit, a twelvemonth before; and some few things that were strangers to him, in the bargain. In that day, toilets covered with muslin, more or less worked and ornamented, were a regular appliance of every bed-room, of a better-class house, throughout America.
"Once, and not so very long ago, for you there was no such thing as the 'better-class, Sergius!" she said; "You were wont to declare that rich and poor alike were all one family in the sight of God!" "I have not altered my opinion," said Thord, a slight flush colouring his cheek; "But you are a woman and as a woman should have every care and tenderness."
