About this book
Light-Fingered Gentry is by David Graham Phillips. The contents list chapters titled A Matrimonial Mistake, A Feast and a Fiasco, The Fosdick Family and Neva Goes to School, among others. Hugo and Amy, the children of a rich man and unmarried, had long been popular with all the women who had unmarried sons and daughters.
Amy, who was pretty, was declared beautiful, and Hugo, who looked as if he had brains, though in fact he had not, was pronounced a marvel of serious intellectuality. A woman says with careless cheerfulness to the butler, Thomas, to telephone Violette the first thing in the morning to come for those tapestries he brought to-day. Armstrong replies that the people are right, they simply are right in the wrong way, as they think he is part of the system of wholesale, respectable pocket-picking that has grown up in this country.
