"Well, I don't see as how it shouldn't," replied Alice. "It's mis'ess's fortun' as 'as been my misfortun' ain't it now, sir? An' why shouldn't it be the other way next?" "I don't quite see how your mistress's fortune can be said to be your misfortune, Alice." "Anybody would see that, sir, as wasn't blinded by class-prejudices." "Class-prejudices!" exclaimed Mr. Greatorex, in surprise at the word.

"It does seem hard that your sympathies should all be thrown away, so to speak, on a horrid lot of wretched poor people, instead of being spent on your own equals who would so greatly appreciate them." "I think I can venture to say the poor appreciate them, too," Hilda answered, bridling up a little for there was nothing she hated so much as class-prejudices.
