By a gentleman, we mean not to draw a line that would be invidious between high and low, rank and
subordination, riches and poverty. No. The distinction is in the mind. Whoever is open, just and true;
whoever is of a humane and affable demeanor; whoever is honorable in himself, and in his judgment of
others, and requires no law but his word to make him fulfil an engagement-such a man is a gentleman
-and such a man may be found among the tillers of the earth as well as in the drawing rooms of the high
born and the rich.
DE VERE.
