And yet, such is our alchemy compounded of the ages, woman works magic in our dreams and in our veins, so that more than dreams and far visions and the blood of life itself is woman to us, who, as lovers truly say, is more than all the world.
Benjamin records the following interesting incident respecting his friend Denham, of whom we have spoken, and to whom we shall refer again: "I must record one trait of this good man's character.

The merchant has "furnished him supplies," adding interest at the rate of one anna on each rupee at the end of each month 6-1/4 per cent., not a year but a month, and that compounded every 30 days!
