We always cringe to money; which is humiliating. And the sun always rises at an hour when sensible people are abed and have not the least need for its services; which is foolish. WE ALWAYS CRINGE TO MONEY WHICH IS HUMILIATING AND THE SUN ALWAYS RISES AT AN HOUR WHEN SENSIBLE PEOPLE ARE ABED AND HAVE NOT THE LEAST NEED FOR ITS SERVICES WHICH IS FOOLISH
sible men enough, agreeable men enough, independent men enough in a certain way; but the moment they begin to circle round my lord, and to shine with a borrowed light from his lordship, heaven and earth, how mean and subservient! What a competition and outbidding of each other in servility!" And this, with "my lord" and "his lordship" erased to make way for the word "money," is my moral. The folk who have just left Selwoode were honest enough as honesty goes nowadays; kindly as any of us dare be who have our own way to make among very stalwart and determined rivals; generous as any man may venture to be in a world where the first of every month finds the butcher and the baker and the candlestick-maker rapping at the door with their little bills: but they cringed to money. It was very wrong of them, my dear lady, and in extenuation I can only plead that they could no more help cringing to money than you or I can help it. This is very crude and very cynical, but unfortunately it is true.
