“The inseparable gold umbrella which in that country [Burma] as much denotes the grandee as the star or garter does in England.”
“It is the habitual carriage of the umbrella that is the stamp of Respectability. The umbrella has become the acknowledged index of social position…. Crusoe was rather a moralist than a pietist, and his leaf-umbrella is as fine an example of the civilized mind striving to express itself under adverse circumstances as we have ever met with.”
“It is not for nothing, either, that the umbrella has become the very foremost badge of modern civilization—the of respectability…. So strongly do we feel on this point, indeed, that we are almost inclined to consider all who possess really well-conditioned umbrellas as worthy of the Franchise.”
