The profits of the business also were greatly increased by the valuable inventions of the Ingrams. The money advanced to the employees was rapidly returned through the company's treasurer to Colonel Harris, and by him, and later by his heirs, was again invested in other lines of practical benevolence.
The Ingrams lived not far from the steel mills in one of two wooden houses, each two stories in height, which Reuben Harris and James Ingram had built for their families, when they began in a modest way to manufacture steel. As Reuben Harris grew rich he moved his family into a beautiful home in the fashionable part of the city, and good society accepted them as their equals.
Colonel Harris and George Ingram were expected to arrive in Paris on Saturday evening. Reluctantly Alfonso and Leo left Lucille and May in Paris. Both were well educated and beautiful women. It is possible that Alfonso might have loved May Ingram had he been thrown more into her company, and so known her better in early life, but the Harrises and Ingrams rarely met each other in society.
And he yelled at us, 'You'd better go home, your house is on fire! and Anne began to cry, didn't you, Anne? So Agnes said a prayer, right out loud, didn't she, Junior? And then Dad and Mr. Rose went by us in the car on a run we were way up by Ingrams' and then Anne and Agnes cried, and I guess we all cried some " "And mother, lissun," Junior added.

The comfort of you! I go off to the ends of the world without a care left behind me or taken with me, by Jove! No bothers, no worry letters opened, the right ones, answered and done with.
In Great Britain alone, coal does the work of more than a hundred millions of men, and adds proportionately to the fabulously increasing wealth of those fortunate islands. The Ingrams had solved two important problems, and on their practicable application depended the success of the great Harris-Ingram experiment.
The one future for him was that in which floated mystically the figure of the scented serpent-woman, and he felt that that drift of things he was relying on had begun by a wrong move. "Perhaps I shall write stories," he hazarded. "You alarm me," she cried. "Your idea is hopelessly impracticable. How could you possibly hope to rival the Robert Ingrams?"
"Well, May," said George, as he kissed her, "can you get ready by noon tomorrow?" "Ready by noon? Ready by daylight, George, if necessary." That night was a busy, happy time for the Ingrams. So much of ill-luck had come to the father, and so much of household drudging to the faithful mother, that work and sacrifice for the children had ploughed deep furrows across the faces of both Mr. and Mrs.
Bert served scrambled eggs and canned macaroni to the ravenous children a meal that was supplemented by a cold roast fowl from the Rose's, a sheet of rolls brought at the last moment by the Fieldings' man, sweet butter and peach ice-cream from the Seward Smiths, and a tray of various delicacies from the concerned and sympathetic Ingrams.
