<|0.00|> There was something individual about the great farm, a most unusual chimness and care for detail.<|6.30|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-2404
|
<|0.00|> On either side of the road, for a mile before you reached the foot of the hill, stood tall<|5.36|><|5.36|> Osage orange hedges, their glossy green marking off the yellow fields.<|9.88|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-2405

<|0.00|> Anyone thereabouts would have told you that this was one of the richest farms on the divide,<|5.00|><|5.00|> and that the farmer was a woman, Alexandra Bergson.<|9.00|><|endoftext|>

<|0.00|> There is even a white row of beehives in the orchard under the walnut trees.<|4.60|><|endoftext|>

<|0.00|> Here she would stay, comforted in Su,<|2.64|><|2.64|> among the lovely plants and rich exotics.<|5.04|><|5.04|> Rejoicing the heart of Old Turner the Gardener,<|7.60|><|7.60|> who since Polly's first rapturous entrance,<|10.08|><|10.08|> had taken her into his good graces for all time.<|13.00|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-2408
|
<|0.00|> Every chance she could steal after practice hours were over, and after the clamorous demands<|5.16|><|5.16|> of the boys upon her time were fully satisfied, was seized to fly on the wings of the wind<|10.68|><|10.68|> to the flowers.<|11.52|><|endoftext|>

<|0.00|> Then, dear, said Mrs. Whitney, you must be kinder to her than ever.<|4.42|><|4.42|> Think what it would be for one of you to be away from home, even among friends.<|8.40|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2410
|
<|0.00|> Somehow, of all the days when the home feeling was the strongest, this day it seemed as if she could bear it no longer.<|6.30|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-2411
|
<|0.00|> If she could only see Franzie for just one moment.<|3.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2412
|
<|0.00|> Oh, she's always at the piano," said Van.<|2.72|><|2.72|> She must be there now, somewhere.<|4.92|><|4.92|> And then somebody laughed.<|6.52|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2413
|
<|0.00|> At this, the bundle opens suddenly, and...<|3.86|><|3.86|> out popped fronsey.<|6.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2414
|
<|0.00|> But Polly couldn't speak, and if Jasper hadn't caught her just in time she would have<|5.14|><|5.14|> tumbled over backward from the stool, franzi and all.<|8.14|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2415
|
<|0.00|> asked Fransy with her little face close to Polly's own.<|3.60|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2416
|
<|0.00|> Now you'll stay, cried man. Say, Polly, won't you?<|3.50|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2417
|
<|0.00|> Oh, you are the dearest and best Mr. King I ever saw.<|4.00|><|4.00|> But how did you make Mammy let her come?<|6.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2418
|
<|0.00|> Isn't he splendid?<|1.64|><|1.64|> Cried Jasper, an intense pride, swelling up.<|4.96|><|4.96|> Father knew how to do it.<|6.20|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2419
|
<|0.00|> There, there, he said soothingly, patting her brown fuzzy head.<|4.24|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2420
|
<|0.00|> I know. Gast Polly, controlling her sobs. I won't. Only. I can't thank you.<|6.24|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2421
|
<|0.00|> Asked Franzi, in intense interests slipping down out of polysarms and crowding up close to Jasper's side.<|7.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2422
|
<|0.00|> Yes, all alone by himself, asserted Jasper vehemently and winking furiously to the others<|5.96|><|5.96|> to stop their laughing.<|7.36|><|7.36|> He did now truly, Francie.<|8.76|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2423
|
<|0.00|> Oh, no, Japser. I must go by my very own self.<|4.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2424
|
<|0.00|> There, Jap, you've caught it, laughed Percy, while the others screamed at the side of Jasper's face.<|6.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2425
|
<|0.00|> Don't mind it, Polly, whispered Jasper, wasn't her fault.<|3.60|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2426
|
<|0.00|> Dear me, ejaculated the old gentleman in the utmost amazement, and such a time as I've<|5.68|><|5.68|> had to get her here too.<|6.96|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2427
|
<|0.00|> How did her mother ever let her go?<|2.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2428
|
<|0.00|> She asked him, possibly. I didn't believe you could persuade her father.<|4.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2429
|
<|0.00|> I didn't have any fears if I worked it rightly," said the old gentleman complacently.<|4.88|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2430
|
<|0.00|> He cried and high-dudgeon, just as if he owned the whole of the peppers, and could dispose<|4.72|><|4.72|> of them all to suit his fancy.<|6.40|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2431
|
<|0.00|> And the old gentleman was so delighted with his success that he had to burst out into a series of short, happy bits of laughter that occupied quite a space of time.<|9.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2432
|
<|0.00|> At last he came out of them and wiped his face vigorously.<|3.36|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2433
|
<|0.00|> But already at a point in economic evolution far and dating the emergence of the lady,<|5.16|><|5.16|> specialized consumption of goods as an evidence of pecuniary strength had begun to work out<|10.00|><|10.00|> in a more or less elaborate system.<|11.76|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2434
|
<|0.00|> The utility of consumption as an evidence of wealth is to be classed as a derivative growth.<|5.40|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2435
|
<|0.00|> Such consumption as false through the women is merely incidental to their work.<|4.24|><|4.24|> It is a means to their continued labour and not a consumption directed to their own comfort and fullness of life.<|10.28|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2436
|
<|0.00|> With a further advance in culture, this tabume changed into simple custom of a more or less rigorous character,<|6.80|><|6.80|> but would ever be the theoretical basis of the distinction which is maintained.<|11.28|><|11.28|> Whether it be at a boo or a larger conventionality, the features of the conventional scheme of consumption do not change easily.<|18.96|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2437
|
<|0.00|> In the nature of things, luxuries and the comforts of life belong to the leisure class.<|5.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2438
|
<|0.00|> Under the taboo certain victuals and more particularly certain beverages are strictly reserved for the use of the superior class.<|8.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2439
|
<|0.00|> Drunkenous and the other pathological consequences of the free use of stimulants<|5.00|><|5.00|> therefore tend in their turn to become unerific as being a mark at the second<|9.48|><|9.48|> remove of the superior status of those who are able to afford the indulgence.<|13.88|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2440
|
<|0.00|> It has even happened that the name for certain diseased conditions of the body arising from such an origin has passed into everyday speech as a synonym for noble or gentle.<|10.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2441
|
<|0.00|> The consumption of luxuries in the true sense is a consumption directed to the comfort of the consumer himself and is therefore a mark of the master.<|9.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2442
|
<|0.00|> With many qualifications, with more qualifications as the patriarchal tradition has gradually weakened,<|6.00|><|6.00|> the general rule is felt to be right and binding that women should consume only for the benefit of their masters.<|12.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2443
|
<|0.00|> The objection of course presents itself that expenditure on women's dress and household paraphernalia is an obvious exception to this rule,<|7.76|><|7.76|> but it will appear in the sequel that this exception is much more obvious than substantial.<|12.80|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2444
|
<|0.00|> The custom of festive gatherings probably originated in motives of conviviality and religion.<|5.36|><|5.36|> These motives are also present in the later development, but they do not continue to be the sole motives.<|10.96|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2445
|
<|0.00|> There is a more or less elaborate system of ranking grades.<|3.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2446
|
<|0.00|> This differentiation is furthered by the inheritance of wealth and the consequent inheritance of gentility.<|5.44|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2447
|
<|0.00|> Many of these affiliated gentlemen of leisure are at the same time less<|3.82|><|3.82|> than men of substance in their own right, so that some of them are scarce<|7.12|><|7.12|> at all, others only partially to be rated as vicarious consumers.<|10.76|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2448
|
<|0.00|> So many of them, however, as make up the retainer and hangarison of the patron, may be<|5.10|><|5.10|> classed as vicarious consumer without qualification.<|8.20|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2449
|
<|0.00|> Many of these again, and also many of the other aristocracy of less degree,<|4.32|><|4.32|> having turned attached to their persons a more or less comprehensive group of vicarious consumer<|9.48|><|9.48|> in the persons of their wives and children, their servants, retainers, etc.<|13.88|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2450
|
<|0.00|> The wearing of uniforms or livers implies a considerable degree of dependence<|4.24|><|4.24|> and may even be said to be a mark of servitude, real or ostensible.<|8.08|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2451
|
<|0.00|> The wearos of uniforms and livers may be roughly divided into two classes,<|4.40|><|4.40|> the free and the servile, or the noble and the ignoble.<|7.72|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2452
|
<|0.00|> But the general distinction is not on that account to be overlooked.<|3.60|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2453
|
<|0.00|> So, those offices which are by right the proper employment of the leisure class are noble,<|5.40|><|5.40|> such as government fighting hunting the care of arms and accoutrements and the like.<|10.16|><|10.16|> In short, those which may be classed as ostensibly predatory employment.<|13.88|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2454
|
<|0.00|> Whenever, as in these cases, the menial servicing question has to do directly with a primary<|4.80|><|4.80|> leisure employments of fighting and hunting.<|7.44|><|7.44|> It easily acquires a reflected honorific character.<|10.16|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2455
|
<|0.00|> The livery becomes obnoxious to nearly all who are required to wear it.<|4.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2456
|
<|0.00|> In a general way, though not wholly nor consistently, these two groups coincide.<|4.60|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2457
|
<|0.00|> The dependent who was first delegated for these duties was the wife or the chief wife,<|5.00|><|5.00|> and as would be expected in the later development of the institution,<|8.00|><|8.00|> when the number of persons by whom these duties are customarily performed gradually narrows,<|13.00|><|13.00|> the wife remains the last.<|15.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2458
|
<|0.00|> But as we descend the social scale, the point is presently reached, where the duties of<|4.64|><|4.64|> vicarious leisure and consumption devolve upon the wife alone.<|7.56|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2459
|
<|0.00|> In the communities of the Western culture, this point is at present found among the lower middle class.<|5.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2460
|
<|0.00|> If beauty or comfort is achieved and it is more or less for two to circumstances if they are,<|5.00|><|5.00|> they must be achieved by means and methods that commend themselves through the great economic law of wasted effort.<|10.50|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2461
|
<|0.00|> The man of the household also can do something in this direction and indeed he commonly does,<|4.50|><|4.50|> but with a still lower descent into the levels of indigence, along the margin of the slums,<|9.30|><|9.30|> the man and presently also the children virtually cease to consume valuable goods for appearances,<|14.90|><|14.90|> and the woman remains virtually the sole exponent of the household's pecuniary decency.<|19.80|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2462
|
<|0.00|> Very much of squalor and discomfort will be endured before the last trinket or the last pretense of pecuniary distances put away.<|7.20|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2463
|
<|0.00|> There is no class and no country that has yielded so abjectly before the pressure of physical want,<|5.04|><|5.04|> as to deny themselves all gratification of this higher or spiritual need.<|9.60|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2464
|
<|0.00|> The question is, which of the two methods will most effectively reach the persons whose convictions it is desired to affect?<|7.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2465
|
<|0.00|> Each will therefore serve about equally well during the earlier stages of social growth.<|4.80|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2466
|
<|0.00|> The modern organization of industry works in the same direction also by another line.<|4.50|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2467
|
<|0.00|> It is evident, therefore, that the present trend of the development is in the direction<|4.16|><|4.16|> of heightening the utility of conspicuous consumption as compared with leisure.<|7.96|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2468
|
<|0.00|> It is also noticeable that the serviceability of consumption as a means of repute, as well as the insistence on it as an element of decency,<|7.20|><|7.20|> is that it's best in those portions of the community where the human contact of the individual is widest and the mobility of the population is greatest.<|14.40|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2469
|
<|0.00|> Consumption becomes a larger element in the standard of living in the city than in the country.<|4.50|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2470
|
<|0.00|> Among the country population its places to some extent taken by savings and home comforts<|4.64|><|4.64|> known through the medium of neighbourhood gossip sufficiently to serve the like general purpose<|8.88|><|8.88|> of pecuniary repute.<|10.40|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2471
|
<|0.00|> The result is a great mobility of the labour employed in printing, perhaps greater than in any other equally well-defined and considerable body of workmen.<|8.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2472
|
<|0.00|> Under the simple test of effectiveness for advertising,<|3.16|><|3.16|> we should expect to find leisure and the conspicuous consumption of goods<|6.76|><|6.76|> dividing the field of peculiar emulation pretty evenly between them at the outset.<|11.40|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2473
|
<|0.00|> But the actual course of development has been somewhat different from this ideal scheme.<|4.58|><|4.58|> Leisure held the first place at the start and came to hold a rank very much above wasteful consumption of goods,<|10.12|><|10.12|> both as a direct exponent of wealth and as an element in the standard of decency during the quasi-peasable culture.<|16.66|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2474

<|0.00|> Other circumstances permitting that instinct disposes men to look with favour upon productive efficiency and on whatever is of human use.<|7.36|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2475
|
<|0.00|> A reconciliation between the two conflicting requirements is affected by resort to make believe.<|5.36|><|5.36|> Men in intricate polite observances and social duties of a ceremonial nature are developed.<|10.40|><|10.40|> Many organizations are founded with some species object of a maluration embodied in their official style and title.<|16.80|><|16.80|> There is much coming and going, and a deal of talk to the end that the talk is may not have a case to reflect on what is the effectual economic value of their traffic.<|25.04|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-2476

<|0.00|> The salient features of this development of domestic service have already been indicated.<|4.50|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-2477
|
<|0.00|> Throughout the entire evolution of conspicuous expenditure,<|3.20|><|3.20|> whether of good sort of services or human life,<|5.80|><|5.80|> runs the obvious implication that in order to effectively mend the consumer's good fame,<|10.40|><|10.40|> it must be an expenditure of super fluidies.<|13.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2478

<|0.00|> as used in the speech of everyday life the word carries an undertone of deprecation.<|4.00|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-2479

<|0.00|> The use of the word waste as a technical term therefore implies no deprecation of the motives<|4.92|><|4.92|> or of the ends sought by the consumer under this canon of conspicuous waste.<|9.24|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2480

<|0.00|> But it is another ground's worth noting that the term waste in the language of everyday life implies the application of what is characterised as wasteful.<|7.00|><|endoftext|>
|
librispeech_asr-2481

<|0.00|> In strict accuracy, nothing should be included under the head of conspicuous waste,<|4.00|><|4.00|> but such expenditure as is incurred on the ground of an invidious pecuniary comparison.<|8.80|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-2493
