What's the use of pretending that we'd be satisfied or she'd be comfortable a minute if Paul didn't promise to be a money-maker or at least to have a good income?" She turned away and walked rapidly down the hall, followed by her father, half apologetic, half reproachful.
The producers of these things the physician, the trainer, the money-maker each in turn contends that his art produces the greatest good.

He hain't been here but once, an' then acted like a fish out o' water. He's a money-maker, an' too live a chap to want to put on a dead man's shoes.
Dickens and others have made us familiar; but I doubt if the most practical money-maker in Wall Street could read it without feeling uncomfortable.

I was expelled for a love caper, and came back to my friends much older in appearance than I had need to be. The Escaped-Nun-racket was a money-maker. What I really am, you see.
