Extravagant Rich Arraigned by Edwin Markham

The essay highlights excess among the idle rich through vivid episodes. A dinner on horseback in a New York city resort costs between 10 000 and 50 000 dollars. A dog with a 15 000 dollar diamond collar and a man with diamond encrusted teeth are described. Other cases include expensive shoes and a pet monkey cared for by many staff. A woman’s necklace exceeds 600 000 dollars and a cradle for an infant costs 10 000 dollars with a large retinue serving the child. A property purchase in New York for 2 000 000 accompanies tearing down a building to expand the garden.
