Sprague had Sunday dinner here, and spent the afternoon, but Sunday night it was young Mr. Ralph Hammond. He come whenever she'd let him.... Monday night?... Oh, yes!

"If it hadn't been for Lois and Hugo Judge Marshall, I mean Nita Selim would never have been included in any of our affairs and she knew it! The Dunlaps can do anything they please, because they're " "Please, Janet!" Lois Dunlap cut in, her usually placid voice becoming quite sharp.
I'd just as soon tell you who I am, though, if you'll swear to keep mum, for I ain't no Phillips, either." Tom says: "We'll keep mum, but there ain't any need to tell who you are if you ain't Jubiter Dunlap." "Why?" "Because if you ain't him you're t'other twin, Jake. You're the spit'n image of Jubiter."

"I know how hard it is for you " "You could find out from others, so I might as well tell you," Penny interrupted, with a weary shrug. "Judge Marshall is well-to-do, and Karen's father her mother is dead settled $100,000 on her when she married. She has complete control of her own money.... The Dunlaps are the richest people in Hamilton, and have been for two or three generations.
It developed that there was one specially close bond between him and the members of General Dunlap's family, an attachment partly based upon old acquaintance and partly upon the fact that the Dunlaps thought he once upon a time had saved the life of the general's youngest daughter, Millicent.
