Dairyman Crick’s household of maids and men lived on comfortably,
placidly, even merrily. Their position was perhaps the happiest of
all positions in the social scale, being above the line at which
neediness ends, and below the line at which the convenances begin
to cramp natural feelings, and the stress of threadbare modishness
makes too little of enough.

– Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles
