Quotation:
[IX, 1879, June 21] With E. to Bosworth Smith's, Harrow (for the weekend). In the aviary he has a raven and a barn owl. One ridiculously small boy in tails - he must have been a bright boy, but I forgot to ask about him. One of the boys in charity-tails could have eaten him."
Notes:
Hardy demonstrates the class distinction through the boys' clothing.
