Excerpt from Pilgrims of Fashion: A Novel
If we had only five thousand a year, we did not like to see our style of living surpassed by people that we thought worth no more than ourselves. We condemned their vulgar extravagance a little, and with an ostenta tious show of superior taste took a small mansion in Madison Avenue, where we prided ourselves rather upon being considered solid than fashionable, although we never refused an invitation to a fashionable ball, nor yet neglected to visit as many fashionable people as were included within the range of our acquaintance. We were able, small as our means 'tvere, to keep abrougham and give one or two parties during the season. We had our crest, which we discovered at a shop in Broadway, painted on the brougham, and we prided ourselves on the aristocratic neatness of the silver band round the coachman's hat, and the dark blue livery with silver buttons. We got into debt considerably towards the end, like many others, and had to stop payment; but, fortunately, we had been provident enough in the high tide of our prosperity to buy the house and furniture we lived in and assign it to our better half, so we were not disturbed in our comfortable abode during this finaqcial crisis.
