Do you react to snobbery, snobby? Allow C.S. Lewis to explain:

“People who believe themselves to be free, and indeed are free, from snobbery, and who read satires on snobbery with tranquil superiority, maybe devoured by the desire in another form. It may be the very intensity of their desire to enter some quite different Ring which renders them immune from the allurements of high life. An invitation from a duchess would be very cold comfort to a man smarting under the sense of exclusion from some artistic or communist coterie. Poor man-it is not large, light rooms, or champagne, or even scandals about peers and Cabinet Ministers that he wants; it is the sacred little attic or studio, the heads bent together, in the fog of tobacco smoke, and the delicious knowledge that we-we four or five all huddled beside this stove-are the people who know. Often the desire conceals itself so well that we hardly recognise the pleasures of fruition.” -C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, p. 147.
