your shoes any more。  Your footmen do it; but they are

paid; and the fellow who comes to get a list of the

company when you give a banquet or a dancing breakfast at

Longueoreille House; gets money from the newspapers for

performing that service。  But for us; thank you for

nothing; Longears my boy; and we don't wish to pay you

any more than we owe。  We will take off our hats to

Wellington because he is Wellington; but to youwho are

you?〃



I am sick of COURT CIRCULARS。  I loathe HAUT…TON

intelligence。  I believe such words as Fashionable;

Exclusive; Aristocratic; and the like; to be wicked;

unchristian epithets; that ought to be banished from

honest vocabularies。  A Court system that sends men of

genius to the second table; I hold to be a Snobbish

system。  A society that sets up to be polite; and ignores

Arts and Letters; I hold to be a Snobbish society。  You;

who despise your neighbour; are a Snob; you; who forget

your own friends; meanly to follow after those of a

higher degree; are a Snob; you; who are ashamed of your

poverty; and blush for your calling; are a Snob; as are

you who boast of your pedigree; or are proud of your

wealth。



To laugh at such is MR。 PUNCH'S business。  May he laugh

honestly; hit no foul blow; and tell the truth when at

his very broadest grinnever forgetting that if Fun is

good; Truth is still better; and Love best of all。
