"'Take another glass of wine, and excuse my mentioning that society as a body does not expect one to be so strictly conscientious in emptying one's glass, as to turn it bottom upwards with the rim on one's nose'"(Dickens, 178)
This is perhaps the first time in the book where society has been outwardly slandered. Dickens is showing that many people back in Victorian England believed society to be a ridiculous set of rules and standards. This entire book focuses on this fact, and this is just one way Dickens is showing that.He is also using the act of drinking wine to metaphor society, which strengthens the books merit standing.
