Yes, and in any case I doubt that the professional classes felt they were there to serve the aristocracy. They were much more likely to pride themselves on not being a bunch of idle drones who never did a day's work and had inherited everything they were given.

It was a little more complicated than that. There was still huge deference to those with titles - though not to the point of servility, no. "New money" wealthy tradesmen still sought to marry their sons and daughters to titles (who in return often welcomed the cash injection - for a Doylian example, consider Percy Phelps and Miss Harrison in NAVA).

Yet the ideal of being a "gentleman" in more ways than mere manners - in other words, not having to sully your hands with earning a living, a hangover from earlier times, was still around. OTOH the professionals with that pride in making their own way were on the rise, especially towards the end of the 19th century.
