One's manner to two different people, respectively, may not be the same, but it should be equally courteous, whether it expresses the cordial friendliness of social equals or the just esteem of one either higher or lower than one's self in the social scale. "No man is a hero to his valet," but every gentleman is a gentleman to his valet.

"No man is a hero to his valet," but every gentleman is a gentleman to his valet.
