He laughingly deprecated his adequacy as a money-master. "That's quite extraordinary," she said thoughtfully. "New York has not taught me to expect such from a man. Then the American dollar is not the sign of the Holy of Holies to you?" ... Her talk was blithe. Presently she chaffed him for absences from the saloon during the rough weather. "And you are such an old sailor, too," she finished.
Also, Jean Jacques, the young, verdant, impressionable French Catholic, was like her Carvillho Gonzales, and she had loved her Carvillho in her own way very passionately, and this much to her credit quite chastely. So that she had no compunction in drawing the young money-master to her side, and keeping him there by such arts as such a woman possesses. These are remarkable after their kind.

If he was interested it was not necessary to interest anyone else, nor was it expedient to do so, for the biggest fish in the net on the Antoine was the money-master of St. Saviour's.

It would be the easiest way out of all their difficulties.
