One cud of gum cost me a thousand dollars! Hell! It would take a millionaire to afford a habit like that." He expelled the gum violently and went grumbling off up the track. "Sis won't object," said Dan, lightly. "She'd offer to do the trick herself, for she's getting the spirit of the work."
An American millionaire, to whom wealth had come rather quickly from Western mines, called at the Paris studio with the idea of capturing something for his gallery. He glanced casually at the paintings on the walls, and then queried: "How much for the lot?" "Four millions," said Whistler. "What?" "My posthumous prices! Good morning!"
This I consider one of the most romantic compliments ever paid by a lover to his lady. What millionaire ever had a fancy like that? Or what millionaire ever had a fancy like this?

If the cab in which Theydon was hurrying home from Daly's Theater had not been delayed by the dispute between driver and policeman, he would never have known that the millionaire visited Innesmore Mansions, and the subsequent course of the night's history might have left him wholly unaffected.
To Danglars Monte Cristo also wrote, requesting him to excuse the whimsical gift of a capricious millionaire, and to beg the baroness to pardon the Eastern fashion adopted in the return of the horses.
