The creature looked too simple, too not dowdy, but too unsophisticated, to have anything false about her. Not beautiful: just an average, lady-like English girl or perhaps more of Irish type; but certainly with possibilities. If she were a princess or a millionairess, she might be glorified by newspapers as a beauty.
Seth noted the fact without even glancing in his direction. "Wal, y' see she's got folks in England. And ther' is a heap o' dollars; an almighty heap. I reckon she'd be a millionairess in this country. Guess it takes a mighty heap o' bills to reckon a million in your country."
Item, a millionairess, burdened with her money, lonely, caustic, with a tongue keen as a sword, yearning for a sphere, but chained up to the rock of her vast possessions.
"'If that's so, Lizzie, it's your fault, I says. "'I don't understand you, says she. "'Why, my dear child, it's this way, I says. 'Your mother an' father have meant well, but they've been foolish. They've educated you for a millionairess, an' all that's lackin' is the millions. You overawed the boys here in Pointview.
"The matter is that she has heard the millionairess is pretty, and she fears she will take Giovanni's heart as well as his name!" "Fava jealous! A delicious thought that! Yet I am not sure that I should care to be in Giovanni's shoes if he wants to get away from her," observed Rigolo, the actor. Favorita again swept toward the group, her voice strident: "Per Dio!
In an hour from the time they had taken possession of their quarters, they were sitting at a little table before an open window, making a breakfast of coffee and eggs. Sheba was presiding, and both men were looking at her flushed cheeks adoringly. "Is the coffee good, Uncle Tom?" she said. "Just tell me it is good." "Well," said Tom, "for the first effort of a millionairess, I should say it was."
"Oh yes, of course I must," he said rather limply. "But she's so splendid so beautiful, so exquisite and I do wish she wasn't so very rich. You see, even if I had the great good fortune to to get her to marry me, I have lots for both; and, you know, the moment an Englishman with a title gets engaged to an American millionairess everybody says that he is simply dollar-hunting."
She is concealed somewhere on the place or has limped off on to the marsh. I wish some New York millionairess would work herself into hysteria on my humble account." "Those are lies," Mount Dunstan answered "every damned one of them!"
Then at last, when he had succeeded in recovering his breath, he said dolefully and with a ludicrous attempt at dignified reproach: "Do not force me to remind you, citizen Merri, that if it had not been for my suggestion that we should all draw lots, and then play hazard as as to who shall be the chosen one to woo the ci-devant millionairess, there would soon have been a free fight inside the cabaret, a number of broken heads, and no decision whatever arrived at; whilst you, who were never much of a fighter, would probably be lying now helpless, with a broken nose, and deprived of some of your teeth, and with no chance of entering the lists for the heiress.
I dared not believe that she had posed for me. It must have been for Lady Kilmarny; and that I alone should see the picture was a bad beginning. She is of the age when a woman can still tell people that she is forty, hoping they will exclaim politely, "Impossible!" It is not enough for her to be a Ladyship and a millionairess. She will be a beauty as well, or at all costs she will be looked at.
