Maybe haughtiness is one of my weak points, I am not even taking the trouble to deny it, or bother to be ashamed. Yes, I was of criticizing people with pets, of making fun of the jewelled collars, of deriding the designer clothes. Yes, I was of not appreciating the amusement, the company, the love they provide. And yes, they say haughtiness comes with a price; and yes again, I am paying for that; but I do not do chintzy; I, when I do things, I do them in style.
