He can lay his hand on his bulging waistcoat and say that he has never once indulged in those rash get-rich-quick speculations, where you buy for the rise and watch things fall and then rush out and buy for the fall and watch 'em rise. Fill... I'll tell you what I'll do. They all say it's the first bit of money that counts in building a vast fortune. I'll lend you some of mine." "You will?
But Steve had lost his clear-headedness and he thought, as do most get-rich-quick men, that, possessed of the Midas touch, he could come in contact with nothing but gold. He began backing the inventor and looking round for a factory site. He sought it away from Hanover, for he wanted it to be a complete surprise. He begrudged his father-in-law's knowing anything of it.
He's one of the get-rich-quick sort. P'raps you 'll learn from him how to dodge Board of Trade inquiries. You stand on what I told you, Miss Maxwell. You remember? Commodore! Huh!" Something must be done to stem the long-pent flood of Mr. Boyle's gossip. Elsie turned on him desperately. "How do you expect me to listen to you, and work at the same time?" she said.

I cannot and would not speak of "get-rich-quick" methods of self-development because they are the veriest rot imaginable.

This man of the get-rich-quick variety was one of those who had mastered the difficult operation of passing off to others the mines out of which he had already extracted most of the gold, an occupation which, in the early Johannesburg days, had been a favourite one with many of the inhabitants of this wonderful town.
The dramatic version is one of the sensations of the season. YOUNG WALLINGFORD. By George Randolph Chester. A series of clever swindles conducted by a cheerful young man, each of which is just on the safe side of a State's prison offence. As "Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford," it is probably the most amusing expose of money manipulation ever seen on the stage. THE INTRUSION OF JIMMY. By P.G. Wodehouse.
