A Worthy Tradesman, Who Had Accumulated A Large Fortune, Married A Lady Of
Gentle Birth And Manners. In Later Years One Of His Daughters Said To A
Friend Of The Family, "I Dare Say You Notice A Great Difference Between
Papa's Behaviour And Mamma's. It Is Easily Accounted For. Papa, Immensely
To His Credit, Raised Himself To His Present Position From The Shop; But
Mamma Was Extremely Well Born. She Was A Miss Smith--One Of _The Old
Smiths, Of Essex_."
