Her future must run side by side with brilliant things and brilliant men. It takes experience to teach distrust to those frolicsome playmates, Youth and Buoyancy. She had met with that experience and had learned that fortune-hunters are by no means mythical or extinct.
"I don't think that's nice of you, Robert," said his mother. "The Vicomte was very kind to your father and me in Paris, and invited us to his chateau in Provence." Robert was sceptical. "Are you sure he had one?" he insisted. Even Mr. Holt laughed. "Robert," said his mother, "I wish Gwen could induce you to travel more.

When the cause of America first made her appearance on the stage of the universe, there were many who, in the style of adventurers and fortune-hunters, were dangling in her train, and making their court to her with every profession of honour and attachment. They were loud in her praise, and ostentatious in her service.
'What in the devil's name, Ned, would you be! returned the father. 'All men are fortune-hunters, are they not? The law, the church, the court, the camp see how they are all crowded with fortune-hunters, jostling each other in the pursuit.

And Lady Carruthers, scrupulously carried out her kinswoman's wish. She took the girl to her own home, Ulverston Priory; she superintended her education; she brought her up in simple, refined habits succeeded in making of her a perfect lady and a noble woman.

"'Are you telling me truth? "'Truth; I swear it. "'Then take her, my boy, and her eight thousand a year; how pleased I am she has been saved from fortune-hunters. "They were married; Brown made the money fly; bills came in. Scene: Sir Calico in a rage. "'Where is the endless gold you promised?
