The Book of Snobs

CHAPTER XLIV--CLUB SNOBS
6/16

'Surely you are not going to miss the Cambridge Chancellor election, and omit showing up your Don Snobs, who are coming, cap in hand, to a young Prince of six-and-twenty, and to implore him to be the chief of their renowned University ?' writes a friend who seals with the signet of the Cam and Isis Club.

'Pray, pray,' cries another, 'now the Operas are opening, give us a lecture about Omnibus Snobs.' Indeed, I should like to write a chapter about the Snobbish Dons very much, and another about the Snobbish Dandies.

Of my dear Theatrical Snobs I think with a pang; and I can hardly break away from some Snobbish artists, with whom I have long, long intended to have a palaver.
But what's the use of delaying?
When these were done there would be fresh Snobs to pourtray.

The labour is endless.

No single man could complete it.
