"The lady stayed here with a gentleman?" "Yes, she did." "H'm! I thought so," I said. "Yes! that lady, it pains me to say, was my wife!" This unblushing statement was not, I could see, without its effect upon the present owner of the petticoat. "But she said they were brother and sister," she replied. "Of course she did," I returned, with a fine assumption of scorn, "of course she did.
If we do so treat them, we seem to fall back upon the assumption that the mere fact that the heterogeneous complex is accepted or rejected is evidence that its ingredients have been measured and compared.

Out of this arrangement grew a highly important sequence which few then foresaw the gradual assumption by the Vanderbilt family of a large share of the ownership and control of the anthracite coal mines of Pennsylvania.
