"Kultur against culture, was it? and your father not the sort to change masters." "True again.

We'll not speak of that. A sizter, two brothers; but scarlet-fever "

But he didn' count the most. Oh, the whole businezz, except papa's, became, as we say give me the word!" "Americanized?" "No, papa he always refused to call it that. Mr.

Once I pointed, and papa 'My daughter, there are many ways to go bankrupt worse than in money, and to have gone bankrupt in none of them there he stopped; he was too noble for pride. No, the businezz, juz' year after year it starved to death.
