Commonplace Book

'...A man feels a secret satisfaction in seeing his neighbour treated as a rascal. If he be a knave himself (which ten to one is the case), he rejoices to see a character brought down to the level of his own, and a new member added to his society...'

from The Adventures of an Atom by Tobias Smollett
