Definitions

    • Some philosophers aver that the well-to-do should be taxed at a higher rate than poorer people.
    • From another point of view, it was a place without a soul. The well-to-do had hearts of stone; the rich were brutally bumptious; the Press, the Municipality, all the public men, were ridiculously, vaingloriously self-satisfied.
