A LADY, proud of her rank and title, once compared the three classes of
people, nobility, gentry, and commonalty, to china, delf, and crockery.
A few minutes elapsed, when one of the company expressed a wish to see
the lady's little girl, who, it was mentioned, was in the nursery.
John, said she to the footman, tell the maid to bring the little
dear. The footman, wishing to expose his mistress's ridiculous pride,
cried, loud enough to be heard by every one,--Crockery! bring down
little China.
