Wealth is, of course, the predominating factor here, as rank inLondon; because while in the latter case birth calls in wealth to furnishit with the sinews of war, in the former wealth calls in birth to teachit how to behave itself. Position is of small account, though the line isalways drawn at shopkeepers _in esse_. Provided the candidate has cutthe shop and opened an office, he can be admitted on payment of thesocial fees, but only gradually and laboriously unless his wealth isbeyond criticis...m. The man who sells you a dozen of wine in the morningsits by your side at Government House or Bishop's Court in the evening, and the highest officials are not unfrequently the least esteemedsocially. A happy consequence of this social jumble is, that with certainexceptions, which are, of course, getting more numerous as we advance incivilization, a gentleman can do anything here and still be considered agentleman, provided he behaves himself as such; and the semi-menialemployments of distressed gentlewomen do not bring with them one half theloss of social position that they generally entail in England.
