Whatever a man like Hurstwood could be in Chicago, it is very evident that he would be but an inconspicuous drop in an ocean like New York. In Chicago, whose population still ranged about 500,000, millionaires were not numerous. The rich had not become so conspicuously rich as to drown all moderate incomes in obscurity.
In England people recognize the fact that they have a servant class. Every house of any pretentions provides a servants' hall. In the United States a sitting room for servants, even in millionaires' homes, is a rarity. More than this, in many city households, especially in apartment households, the servants are prohibited from receiving their friends even in the kitchen.
There was a deafening uproar, hats were tossed ceilingward, and great wads of money were passed out by the "trusted cashier" to indifferent millionaires. Felix wanted to rush in and bet at once on something if he waited it might be too late. Was it necessary to be introduced to the cashier? No? Would he take the bet? All right, but

Hi, boys! let's give three cheers for the feller that don't toady to nobody millionaires nor nobody else hooray for Ros Paine!"
Those shipping millionaires who clung exclusively to the sea fell in the scale of the rich class, especially as the time came when foreign shipping largely supplanted the trade hitherto carried in American cutters. Other shippers who applied their surplus capital to investments in other forms of trade and ownership advanced rapidly in wealth.
Moreover, it would probably astonish us if we knew how large was the number of those who fancy that their more well-to-do neighbors, if they do not belong to the category of millionaires, are living beyond their means.
Before one of these houses Tom stopped to look at a lopsided sign in the little garden, which announced that rooms were to be rented within. "Perhaps we can find something here," he said, "that may suit the first ventures of millionaires.
We are all gamblers to-day, insomuch as there is no stable relation between work and reward, and the failure of a bank in Calcutta may impoverish a shopkeeper in Camden Town. Our investments may rise or fall in value through the obscure machinations of unknown millionaires.
