XVII: Condescension that Withers IF you purchased a cheap car, you would not, I know, engage a chauffeur who had run only those of an impressive make. You would have the wisdom to foresee machinery turned muhsh and an engine stalled. But I have never hired a gardener who, hecause of his own garden, did not have a snobbish attitude towards mine. The worst of it is that these men are not really gardeners but such as "oblige me" with scant extra hours of daylight. They have other tasks in which they exert professional
