“My daughter is marrying in England, rather a bit above our station, “

What is a station? Is this a caste system? Or some kind of Euro style nobles and commoners thing?

Let me put it this way. I’m a pilot and have a plane and fly really fast planes for a living.

They have a butler that engages with their pilots.

There’s a pecking order, official and unofficial of people according to royal titles, government function, money, political power, education, celebrity, and influence.

And probably other things.

We’re supposed to know where we fit in this mess, and not bother our betters.
