The old soldier had already forgotten his grievance. John Merrick was a multi-millionaire, to be sure; but there were palliating circumstances that almost excused him.
Harrison was a multi-millionaire, and the object of the envious glances of every other girl in the room; and so when Aunt Polly returned a while later she found the conversation between the two progressing very well, and in fact almost as much enjoyed by both as it had been the first time.
At the same time there appeared a California mine owner, a multi-millionaire, with whom her husband had manifold business dealings. He introduced his daughters into society and himself gave a number of luxurious dinners at which he tried to assemble guests of the most exclusive character.
"Pretty woman," said Captain Rayburn to Captain Ringgold. "Very pretty," replied the latter. "Between you and me, she is the particular reason why Frôler has prolonged his stay here to six months." "Then I congratulate him," added the commander. "Her father is not rich; Frôler does not care for that, for he is a multi-millionaire himself, counted in francs.
That swagman had a history, highly important, at all events, to himself. He had been born; he lived; he would probably die and if any human being wants a higher record than that, he must work for it.

He didn't put on a bit of side, and the dinner was some feast." And how could they know that Derry was envying them their cavalry yellow and their olive drab?
"What's the news, Uncle?" asked Miss Patricia Doyle, as she entered the cosy breakfast room of a suite of apartments in Willing Square.
