(b) Read this extract. That, indeed, will be the unique feature of the Pleasure Telephone. It will make millions merry who have never been merry before, and will democratise1 , if we may so write, many of the social luxuries of the rich. Those who object to the environment of the stage will be able to enjoy the theatre at home, and the fashionable concert will be looked forward to as eagerly by the poor as by their wealthy neighbours. The humblest cottage will be in immediate contact with the city, and the ‘private wire’ will make all classes connected. From the extract, identify two groups of people whose lives might be improved by the Pleasure Telephone.
