    Answer: C. Poor people were expected to tolerate any ridicule made by the rich.

    Explanation:

    Henry makes it clear that he understands that the two rich gentlemen are making fun of him, using him for their own amusement and ridiculing him by doing so. However, he realizes that them being rich and him being poor means that there's not much he can do about it because he's expected to accept the situation without any complaints.
