But there is no snobbishness in this.

Was the fellow-commoner a snob when he acted in accordance with the custom of his rank and standing?
or the sizar who accepted aid in achieving that education which he could not have got without it?
or the tutor of the college, who carried out the rules entrusted to him?
There are two military snobs, Rag and Famish.
One is a swindler and the other a debauched young idiot.

No doubt they are both snobs, and one has been, while the other is, an officer.

But there is,--I think, not an unfairness so much as an absence of intuition,--in attaching to soldiers especially two vices to which all classes are open.

Rag was a gambling snob, and Famish a drunken snob,--but they were not specially military snobs.
