But while in America all classes exist, they are not fenced apart, as in England, in fact any more than they are in theory. In England if you go into educated society, you are likely to meet almost exclusively educated people or at least people with the stamp of educated manners. Sir Gorgius Midas is not of course inexorably barred from the society of duchesses.
I will not, however, take instances from our own country of Royal Snobs, but refer to a neighbouring kingdom, that of Brentford and its monarch, the late great and lamented Gorgius IV. With the same humility with which the footmen at the 'King's Arms' gave way before the Plush Royal, the aristocracy of the Brentford nation bent down and truckled before Gorgius, and proclaimed him the first gentleman in Europe.
We have all of us read with delight that story of the King's voyage to Haggisland, where his presence inspired such a fury of loyalty and where the most famous man of the country the Baron of Bradwardine coming on board the royal yacht, and finding a glass out of which Gorgius had drunk, put it into his coatpocket as an inestimable relic, and went ashore in his boat again.
