There’s a passage in George Orwell’s 1933 memoir, “Down and Out in Paris and London,” in which the author describes a typical waiter at a smart Paris hotel: “He is not thinking as he looks at you, ‘What an overfed lout’; he is thinking, ‘One day, when I have saved enough money, I shall be able to imitate that man.’ ” (via Jeeves of the Plaza - New York Times)
