"It's either not enough or it is too much," replied Violet. "If I had to have the ghosts, I should want some very substantial compensations to make up for such housemates as those airy and playful ladies and gentlemen are said to make." "But it is a house," persisted Billie. "And you know it isn't everybody who can own a haunted house." "A haunted house!" said Laura, speaking in a hushed tone.
The last paragraph has brought us to the verge of the inmost secret, but we have yet to take the final step. We have yet to realize that, in truly great drama, the foreknowledge possessed by the audience is not a disadvantage with certain incidental mitigations and compensations, but is the source of the highest pleasure which the theatre is capable of affording us.

"While, as of course you know, Comrade Jarvis," he said, "there is no agony like the agony of literary composition, such toil has its compensations.

Am I not right, Comrade Otto?"
Carey's bank were to rise out of its ashes and flourish to an extent that its greatest upholders never dreamt of not though I were to get a pension or an earl's ransom, or whatever else people count magnificent compensations and rewards.
