"A living, I suppose. Some of the high-class weeklies feel the competition of the ten-cent monthlies. But 'Every Other Week' is about the best thing we've got in the literary way, and I guess it's holding its own." "Have to, to let the editor come to Carlsbad," Stoller said, with a return to the sourness of his earlier mood.
"I should be ashamed I should feel disgraced I should I don't ask you I don't ask her till I have the means to support her " "If you were very fortunate," continued the general, unmoved by the young fellow's pain, and unperturbed by the fact that he had himself lived upon his wife's means as long as she lived, and then upon his daughter's, "if you went back to Stoller "
He accused some of Stoller's most honored and envied capitalists of being the source of our worst corruptions, and guiltier than the voting-cattle whom they bought and sold. "I think we can get rid of the whole trouble if we go at it the right way," Stoller said, diverging for the sake of the point he wished to bring in. "I believe in having the government run on business principles.
Stoller alone, but I might have gone in the two-spanner with him and let you have Mr. or Mrs. March in the one-spanner." "I don't know. Their interest in each other isn't so interesting to other people as they seem to think." "Do you feel that way really, papa? Don't you like their being so much in love still?" "At their time of life? Thank you it's bad enough in young people."
I guess it ain't going to do me any harm, after all; our people hain't got very long memories; but if it is, let it. You tell him it's all right." "I don't know where he is, Mr. Stoller, and I don't know that I care to be the bearer of your message," said March. "Why not?" "Why, for one thing, I don't agree with you that it's all right.

"Yes," said General Triscoe, with a tilt of his head towards March. "That's what we must ask ourselves more and more." March leaned back in his chair, and looked up over his shoulder at Stoller. "Well, I don't know.
But still she liked being there; and Miss Triscoe made her take the best seat; Burnamy and Stoller made the older men take the other seats beside the ladies, while they sat behind, or stood up, when they, wished to see, as people do in the back of a box.
