Look at honest Nathan Houndsditch and his lady, and their little son. What a noble air of blazing contentment illuminates the features of those Snobs of Eastern race! What a toilette Houndsditch's is!
These honest, straightforward good people were not snobs, whatever else they might be, and if her desire for America had been prompted solely by the desire to escape from the social conditions that environed her friends, she would now have smothered it and stamped on it. But the call from Charleston that had come across the water to her was an influence far more potent than that.
"Oh, you can't make me feel charitable about them, and there's no use trying, Bessie! Let's try not to talk about them, for it makes me angry every time I think of the way they behaved. They were just plain snobs, that's all!"
Then he was of a cheerful temperament, and this is a gift which usually renders the possessor popular, unless marred by positive defects or bad qualities. There were two or three young snobs in the village who looked down upon Philip on account of his father's poverty, but most were very glad to associate with our hero, and have him visit their homes.
But the fact is, that in the literary profession THERE ARE NO SNOBS. Look round at the whole body of British men of letters; and I defy you to point out among them a single instance of vulgarity, or envy, or assumption.
It is I who have brought him into this dilemma!.... I owe it to him not to abandon him, but to follow him to the end.... Here I shall be assisting at a duel, at my age!.... Did you see how those young snobs lowered their voices when I mentioned my encounter with poor Caderousse?.... Fifty-two years and a month, and not to know yet how to conduct one's self! Let us go to the Rue Leopardi.
'Do, said her ladyship; and flourishing her hand, "I sing the Prince of Snobs!" 'Oh, if it's about old Mel, I 'll sing you material enough, said Mr. George. 'There! you talk of it's being unnatural, his dining out at respectable tables. Why, I believe upon my honour, I believe it's a fact he's supped and thrown dice with the Regent. Lady Jocelyn clapped her hands.
We're dreadful snobs, Brandy, the whole lot of us. Sara was quite good enough for a much better man than my brother. She really couldn't help the worsteds, you know. I'm very fond of her, and always have been. We're pals. 'Gad, it was a fearful slap at the home folks when Challis justified Sara by getting snuffed out the way he did."
"You can't think, Howat, how I hate myself; the horridest things go round and round through my mind. We're all wrong I'm more like you than I admitted born snobs. I mean the kind who look down on people different from themselves. I can't help being on on edge. I can tell you this, though, I care more for Jim Polder than for any other man I've ever met.
He's a gentleman not like your snobs that have nothing sound about 'em but their cash, and swept out their shops before they bought their fine feathers! and I'll be d d if I care what I do for him."
