A real Raphael in your house is aristocracy to the roof-tree.

But the wealthy trader will reach to title before he may hope to get the real Raphael or a Titian.

There stood the letters in gilt; and he had a thrill of his generosity; for few were the generous acts he could not perform; and if an object haunted the deed, it came of his trader's habit of mind.
He revelled in benevolent projects of gifts to the nation, which would coat a sensitive name.

Say, an ornamental City Square, flowers, fountains, afternoon bands of music--comfortable seats in it, and a shelter, and a ready supply of good cheap coffee or tea.
