This residence was to be peopled for a month by porters, packers and hammerers, at whose operations it had become peculiarly public public that is for Portland Place that Charlotte was to preside in force; operations the quite awful appointed scale and style of which had at no moment loomed so large to Maggie's mind as one day when the dear Assinghams swam back into her ken besprinkled with sawdust and looking as pale as if they had seen Samson pull down the temple.

In the case of inferiors the contrast is still more fatal: under strict law, they become the subordinate workers in great schools, healthily aiding, echoing, or supplying, with multitudinous force of hand, the mind of the leading masters: they are the nameless carvers of great architecture stainers of glass hammerers of iron helpful scholars, whose work ranks round, if not with, their master's, and never disgraces it.
