All these cheap delights, the gold, the colors, the garden, the music, the lights, are paid for by the losses of feeble-minded Avarice. But, there I said all this to Ned Severne, and I might as well have preached sense to the wind." "Harrington, I will not play. I am much happier walking with my good brother " "Faute de mieux."
