I trust that the great and intelligent body of people who have obtained the elective franchise will see that seats in the House of Commons ought not to be given, like rooms in an almshouse, to urgency of solicitation; and that a man who surrenders his vote to caresses and supplications forgets his duty as much as if he sold it for a bank-note.
It's hard work keeping the wolf away these dull times. Pauline forced her lips to form a 'Thank you, as she put the bank-note in her pocket, and then began silently to clear the table, her thoughts in a tumultuous whirl. Ten dollars! Her father's hired man received a dollar a day.

The industrial manufacturer could not make goods unless he had the plant, the raw material and the labor.
