More than one bona fide banker, backed up by a bona fide government, has induced the hardest-headed men on 'Change to take up stock which is bound to fall within a given time. You have seen better than that. Have you not seen stock created with the concurrence of a government to pay the interest upon older stock, so as to keep things going and tide over the difficulty?
When we come to the question of the apparition pure and simple, one of the best-known leading cases is that recorded by Lord Brougham, who was certainly one of the hardest-headed persons that ever lived, a Lord Chancellor, trained from his youth up to weigh evidence. The story is given as follows in the first volume of "Lord Brougham's Memoirs":
"Well, if you've made up your mind, you will go. Ruth, you are the hardest-headed woman to have such a beautiful spirit I ever knew." The dark eyes smiled into his face. "You may go with me, Morris." He took up his cane and coat. "I'll grudge the minutes I can't talk, but I'll sit and look at you. You are growing more beautiful every day, Ruth.

It isn't silly and romantic to believe in love, Max. The hardest-headed, most practical people believe in it every one who has any sense really believes in it, when they find it. To be poor, to be uncomfortable it's a price, but a small one to pay for love. Isn't that true true, at least, as far as you're concerned?" "Oh, yes, as far as I'm concerned "
"I've met him once," Dick said. "Went to him for advice on a matter of business." "Any good?" asked Ashcott. "Oh yes, shrewd enough. Hardest-headed man at the Bar, I believe. I didn't know he was a director of this show. They won't get much out of him." "I fancy they're going to ask you to draw up a petition," said Ashcott. "Me!" Dick turned on him in a sudden blaze of anger.
