Excerpt from Modern Grub Street Other Essays

The common multitude, the masses, the mere herd, as we superior persons call them, plod away darkly all their lives down in the cellarage and universal basement; an almost equally large crowd of the undistinguished is for ever drudging on the ground floor fussier and presumably more important workmen are occupied on the difierent tiers of scaffolding higher and higher up, till on the uppermost circle you behold none but the very aristocracy of the building trade genteelly doing their day's work in kid gloves and conjuring daintily with jewelled trowels.
