Most poets die young, not because the gods especially love them, but because life is a bank-account, and to wipe out your balance is to have your checks protested. The excesses of youth are drafts payable at maturity. Chatterton dead at eighteen, Keats at twenty-six, Shelley at thirty-three, Byron at thirty-six, Poe at forty, and Burns at thirty-seven, are the rule.
I've never been able to forget what I took you away from. I took you away from luxury and carted you out here to the end of Nowhere and had you leave behind about everything that made life decent. And the one thing I've always wanted to do is make good on that over-draft on your bank-account of happiness. I've wanted to give back to you the things you sacrificed.

Poor Mac!
I have been working for years to save myself from becoming fat and plump and pulpy." "Then you don't think fat women are beautiful?" "My child, in all enlightened countries adipose is woman's worst enemy. If I were a fat woman, and a man said that he loved me, I should know that he was after my bank-account. Take my advice, my dear young lady, and bant." "Bant?" "Reduce. Make yourself slender.
"Farrel has gone to El Toro to attach my bank-account and my sheep," the Basque explained in a whisper, leaning low over the gray's neck. "His father had an old judgment against me. When I thought young Farrel dead, I dared do business in my own name understand? Now, if he collects, you've lost the Rancho Palomar help me, for God's sake, Parker!" Parker's hand fell away from the reins.
Kennedy reached over to get a cigarette from my case and light it from one that I was smoking. "That's=20our man, I think," he whispered "Pitts Slim." I said nothing, but I would have been willing to part with a large section of my bank-account to be up on the Chatham Square station of the Elevated just then. There was a rush from the half-open door behind us.
Some man in Nimrim, Mo., would have wed the little stay-at-home. Kedzie, the pretty fool, apparently fancied that she would have been happy if Gilfoyle had been a handsomer sleeper, and the apartment a handsomer apartment, and the bank-account an inexhaustible fountain of gold. But would she have been?
That influence, in its last analysis, was simply the power of money: Bertha Dorset's social credit was based on an impregnable bank-account.
