Answer 1

What we see implied in the last line of this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is what we find in letter B. that the servants in the homes of wealthy Londoners consider themselves to be better than everyone else.

The word choice here can be "translated": "The same servant appeared. I asked for those gentlemen. 'They are gone.' This in the  lofty, cold way of that fellow's  tribe= "The same servant appeared. I asked for those gentlemen. 'They are gone.' This in the arrogant, cold way of that fellow's class (or category).

The author means that the people from that man's class (servants in the homes of wealthy Londoners) all have a feature in common: they are haughty and aloof.
