In almost all who have it, it is mixed with some infusion of the spirit of an ordinary self, some quantity of class-instinct, and even, as has been shown, of more than one class-instinct at the same time; so that, in general, the extrication of the best self, the predominance of the humane instinct, will very much depend upon its meeting, or not, with what is fitted to help and elicit it.
She was feeling a touch of shame as well as the slight resentment which was partly her class-instinct, partly of her sex. 'I feel that I have no right to give any opinion, she said in an undertone. 'Meaning, Adela, commented her brother, 'that you have a very strong opinion and stick to it. 'One thing I dare say you are thinking, Miss Waltham, Richard pursued, 'if you'll allow me to say it.
That part of it, again, which so much occupies the attention of philanthropists at present, the part which gives all its energies to organising itself, through trades' unions and other means, so as to constitute, first, a great working- class power, independent of the middle and aristocratic classes, and then, by dint of numbers, give the law to them, and itself reign absolutely, this lively and interesting part must also, according to our definition, go with the Philistines; because it is its class and its class-instinct which it seeks to affirm, its ordinary self not its best self; and it is a machinery, an industrial machinery, and power and pre-eminence and other external goods which fill its thoughts, and not an inward perfection.
Lydia could only argue from her predisposition regarding the class of 'gentlemen. We know how she had shrunk from meeting Egremont.

Only one way recommended itself to her, and that the way of love.
I expect she is as tired and hungry as I am. Do you think, coaxingly, 'that you could get tea for us in the parlour, Mrs. Hunter? and perhaps you will join us there'; for class-instinct had awoke in Eric at the sight of a lady's face, and I suppose, in spite of my Quakerish gray gown, I was still young enough to make him hesitate about entertaining me in his bachelor's room.
