SOCIETY was the creation of the idle rich who toiled not and who in this way played.

They aped their husbands, and talked in the same large ways about policy, and the duties and responsibilities of the rich.

They were swayed by the same ethic that dominated their husbands--the ethic of their class; and they uttered glib phrases that their own ears did not understand.
Also, they grew irritated when I told them of the deplorable condition of Jackson's family, and when I wondered that they had made no voluntary provision for the man.

I was told that they thanked no one for instructing them in their social duties.

When I asked them flatly to assist Jackson, they as flatly refused.
