The irony which was implied in the last line was that the servants in the homes of wealthy Londoners consider themselves to be better than everyone else. As well as their employers, they acted quite arrogant and that is why the narrator said 'the tribe' - because people blinded with wealth form their own unwritten laws that are quoted in their own world where they are the only ones to respect.
