She hurried her words, fearful that he might rush from the room before she could utter the belated explanation. "I don't want to be poor.
Fancy her calling all authors "penny-a-liners!" "So, all unsuccessful men say!" she replied curtly. "But," she went on, putting aside all my literary prospects as beneath her notice, and returning to the main point at issue, "is that all you have got to depend upon for your anticipated wife and establishment?"
