Isn't it a little exorbitant?
"The Greater Power"
Harold Bindloss W. Herbert Dunton

"A Prairie Courtship"
Harold Bindloss
It was the kind of society in which, after dinner, the ladies compared the exorbitant charges of their children's teachers, and agreed that, even with the new duties on French clothes, it was cheaper in the end to get everything from Worth; while the husbands, over their cigars, lamented municipal corruption, and decided that the men to start a reform were those who had no private interests at stake.
