It sometimes appears as if the young women in the lower class were not very well treated; but I guess their position is better in the upper and even to some extent in the middle." "Gracious," Isabel exclaimed; "how many classes have they?
About fifty, I suppose." "Well, I don't know that I ever counted them.

I never took much notice of the classes.

That's the advantage of being an American here; you don't belong to any class." "I hope so," said Isabel.
