When Mrs. Frederick C. Little's second son arrived, everybody noticed that he was not much bigger than a mouse. Then in a low voice, "You...eh?" I don't know why we behaved like lunatics. The individual members of this class, however, are being constantly hurled down into the proletariat by the action of competition, and, as modern industry develops, they even see the moment approaching when they will completely disappear as an independent section of modern society, to be replaced in manufactures, agriculture, and commerce by overlookers, bailiffs, and shopmen. It was reasonable, however, to hope, that they would not continue long. For some minutes, before she fell into deep, dreamless sleep, she just lay quiet, smiling at the ceiling.
