    "The next specimen is perhaps a 'swell' out at elbows, a seedy and somewhat ragged remnant of a very questionable kind of gentility -- a gentility engendered in 'coal-holes' and 'cider-cellars,' in 'shades,' and such-like midnight 'kens' -- suckled with brandy and water and port-wine negus, and fed with deviled kidneys and toasted cheese."
