I thought he should have enjoyed them; he had a humorous vein; he was not too snobbish; and he seemed of a nature to wish to make himself generally agreeable to people; but for these special objects of my care he had expressed only derision and contempt, with often a touch of positive malice; and had not been able to abstain from giving me a hard cut or two on my mission, barely avoiding it in his letter, and rejoicing with what seemed to me an unwarrantable warmth in the hope that I should soon quit forever the abominable place.
He said from his elevation that he hoped Shovel would believe his tales about Thrums now, and Shovel, who had often cuffed Tommy for sticking to him so closely, cringed in the most snobbish manner, craving permission to be seen in his company for the next three days.
It isn't that they're snobbish and want to seem to be what they are not, don't think that for a moment. But they well, I won't try to describe them. Many people from the Old World would never understand what they really are, or their point of view; but you will, Lady Betty.
Until now she had considered Lawford Tapp's tendencies toward living such an irresponsible existence as all wrong for him. The rather exciting information she had just gained changed her mental attitude toward the young man entirely. Louise gave no consideration whatsoever to Aunt Euphemia's snobbish stand in the matter of Lawford's social position.
For seven days he'd had twenty-four other human beings crowded into the two cabins of the ship, with never so much as one yard of space between himself and someone else. One need not be snobbish to wish to be alone sometimes! Murgatroyd licked his whiskers thoughtfully. "I hope," said Calhoun, "that things work out right.

"Then it's wise to be snobbish, because if it did condescend " "I won't stand people talking about condescending " "Would you mind not shouting so?" "Very well! I'll keep still!" Silence again, while both of them looked unhappy, and tried to remember just what they had been fighting about.
We won't say another word about it; we've told him what we think; and tonight he can have a long talk with Bob. You'd want to do that, wouldn't you, Henry? Of course you would. You wish you'd done it before. You're feeling awfully ashamed of yourself for being so hasty. And snobbish. I know you." Henry looked across at the Judge.
The Parliament was indifferent to the constituencies, as it is now; though perhaps the constituencies were less indifferent to the Parliament. The Parliament was snobbish, as it is now, though perhaps more respectful to mere rank and less to mere wealth. But the Parliament was a Parliament; it did fulfil its name and duty by talking, and trying to talk well.
His brother accused him of carrying his idolatry of "good form" to a snobbish extent, but Allen could carry it out so naturally that no one could have suspected that he had not been to the manner born. If he did appreciate the society of people with handles to their names, he comported himself among them as their easy equal; and he was so lavish as to be a very popular man.
