First Sentence
"In "Waiting at the Station," from Sketches and Travels in London, written more than a hundred years ago about class distinctions in England, William Makepeace Thackeray dramatized the conscience-salving rationalizations that the dominant group in a society uses in dismissing its subordinates as essentially alien and beyond the pale: We are amongst a number of people waiting for the Blackwell train at the Fenchurch Street Station."
