"Still, I have been wondering how some of the men earned their money. I understand that they have sense enough to be proud of their small beginnings, but they do not furnish instructive details as to the precise manner in which they achieved their success." The capitalist, who was one of the class described, laughed good-humoredly, as he seated himself beside Thurston.
All men don't smoke," Tom corrected him. "But I think I catch the drift of your idea. If you smoke you think men will look upon you as being more manly. That's it, it?" "It must be manly, if men do it," Alf argued. "You funny little shaver," laughed Tom, good-humoredly.

She'd like to be friends with everybody; why not give her a chance?" Again Ellen did not reply; and again it was Fanny who spoke the words that rose to her friend's lips unuttered: "I can't see how you should know so much about Miss Orr, Jim."

There 's plenty would jump at the chance."
"A noble piece of work," he said. Giorgione nodded. "German and Venetian mixed." He laughed softly. "With three Venetians at the frescos we shall see, ah we shall see!" He laughed again good-humoredly. The boat shot under the Rialto and came out again in the clear moonlight. "To-morrow," said Giorgione, looking back, "to-morrow we begin." "To-morrow Zarato comes to me for his portrait."
