"he is a gentleman, or next door to it. I don't think he is English, and so it is hard to tell."
"servants, who are born knowing their places; he has not yet reaccustomed himseld to the resentful demonstrations of equality so frequently practiced on this side of the ocean. Except in the South of course; but he does not go there."
"And one person was as good at the next, and on this side of the ocean folks rose in the world by hard work, not by who their grandfather was, and that was the way it should be."
