"A Pleasant Sensation"

|
Now and then in my addiction to early detective fiction I come across a knock-out quote.
This one from 1913, apropos of today’s wokeness, is by Edgar Wallace*.
“It is a pleasant sensation, this of superiority. It enables one to mix freely with inferior humanity and take no hurt.”
*Excerpt From: Edgar Wallace in his horse racing and crime novel, “Grey Timothy.” 1913.
