The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Voice of the City by O. Henry: artful, self-sufficient, clannish, honorable within the
laws of their race, holding in lenient contempt neigh-
boring tribes who bow to the measure of Society's
tapeline. I refer, of course, to the titled nobility of
sportdom. There is a class which bears as a qualify-
ing adjective the substantive belonging to a wind in-
strument made of a cheap and base metal. But the
tin mines of Cornwall never produced the material
for manufacturing descriptive nomenclature for "Big
Jim" Dougherty.
