"A couple of thousand dollars might do, I suppose." "A couple of thousand!" she said, lukewarmly. "Tell your great designer he is riding too high a horse." "Still, in order to start a decent business " I said, throwing a covert glance at her "Cloak-factories have been started with a good deal less," she snapped back "On Division Street, perhaps."
"The state is sound and healthy, Colonel Everard," said the General; "and yet the less so, that many of its members, who have been hitherto workers together, and propounders of good counsel, and advancers of the public weal, have now waxed cold in their love and in their affection for the Good Cause, for which we should be ready, in our various degrees, to act and do so soon as we are called to act that whereunto we are appointed, neither rashly nor over-slothfully, neither lukewarmly nor over-violently, but with such a frame and disposition, in which zeal and charity may, as it were, meet and kiss each other in our streets.

"Well, I believe you, Levinsky," he said, lukewarmly. "Now that you assure me you don't know anything about it, I believe you. I know you are not an enemy of mine. I have always considered you a true friend. You know I have.
