And when he had done, she fell upon her knees, and with outstretched hands: "Do you not understand?" she cried. "I love you!" Hereupon, with a pang of wonder and mercantile delight the dreamer awoke.

You may talk about the value of a noble heart beating in an empty corset, shining out of pinched and tired eyes; but it is a value, unmarketable, where the good things in a woman's life are given in exchange.

And he read it, standing by his window, and calmly realised that he was now no longer penniless. Some inspired idiot had become a credulous market for his apparently unmarketable securities.
The common knowledge that the past and present inspection laws had failed to prevent the importation of unmarketable tobacco, plus a long depression, had changed the attitude of many of the influential planters and merchants.
