[Lady Dedlock] supposes herself to be an inscrutable Being quite out of the reach and ken of ordinary mortals—seeing herself in her glass, where indeed she looks so. Yet, every dim little star revolving about her, from her maid to the manager of the Italian Opera, knows her weaknesses,
prejudices, follies, haughtinesses, and caprices; and lives upon as accurate a calculation and as nice a measure of her moral nature, as her
dress-maker takes of her physical proportions. Is a new dress, a new custom, a new singer, a new dancer, a new form of jewellery ... a new chapel,
a new anything to be set up? There are deferential people, in a dozen callings, whom my Lady Dedlock suspects of nothing but prostration before
her, who can tell you how to manage her as if she were a baby, who do nothing but nurse her all their lives; who, humbly affecting to follow with
profound subservience, lead her and her whole troop after them.
(from Bleak House by Charles Dickens)
