To the House of Bourbon I have no objection, in itself, that would be idle affectation. Logan gasped. Was this extraordinary man anxious to reject a lady 'multimillionaire' for his son, and a crown of some sort or other for his daughter? 'But the stain of ill-gotten gold silver too is ineffaceable. 'It really cannot be Bristles this time, thought Logan.
He did not even feel annoyed at his cousin's suggestion that he did not know his way about the world. He knew it rather better than she did, he fancied. And having so disposed of his mail, he took up the evening paper which lay beneath it, and read the first headline: Mrs. Lee Linburne to seek divorce: Wife of well-known multimillionaire now at Reno As he read this a blind rage swept over Riatt.
The scene in the saloon would be taken later: also the street scenes to and from. An officer of the "Cruelty" came and took her from the garret. That was the beginning of a series of adventures culminating in a marriage with a multimillionaire. While the garret was set, the finish of the story was taken. She ran and changed her costume to one of wealth with ermine.
"You can never tell, in a world like this," she murmured. "That's why I make a point of being civil to everybody. Your laundry woman may become a multimillionaire, or your singing master a Caruso, and then, just while their month's on, every one is crazy to meet them. It's the Professor's month just now." "Here he is, mother!" the young man exclaimed suddenly. "Good old boy!
The ancestors of some of the most conspicuous multimillionaire families of the present were deeply involved in the perpetration of all of those continuous frauds and crimes Peter Goelet and his sons, Peter P. and Robert, for instance, and Jacob Lorillard, who, for many years, was president of the Mechanics' Bank. No stigma attached to these wealth-graspers.
The baldness of the question left Nina for the moment speechless; then presently, "I have what father gives me," she answered evasively. "But you are the only child of the American multimillionaire, 'Jemmes Ronadolf, yes?" Nina nodded in affirmative. "The Duke Scorpa, with whom you danced just now, is my son!"
Their vogue is chiefly a succès de scandale. Sensible people will gape at the spectacle without admiration, and even the reader of the society column in the sensational newspapers keeps more critical detachment than he is usually credited with. In any case neither the boisterous nor the shrinking multimillionaire has any representative standing. He is not what a poor person means by a rich person.
"Too short," he replied, "and yet, I wish we were there." Again she spoke: "This is a most unprecedented affair. Can it be real, or are we actors?" "We are detectives, and they always do unexpected and unprecedented things." "What will your father say you a multimillionaire and I a poor girl who works for a living?" "My mother was poor and blind when my father married her."
In all these lines there is no limit, and the house of to-day is no longer a pleasure if his neighbour builds a bigger one to-morrow. The man with the fifty-thousand-dollar expenditures feels the same dissatisfaction if he cannot have the steam yacht and the picture gallery which the multimillionaire enjoys.
IX.-Our Literary Bureau We have lately been struck, of course not dangerously, by a new idea. A recent number of a well-known magazine contains an account of an American multimillionaire who, on account of the pressure of his brain power and the rush of his business, found it impossible to read the fiction of the day for himself.
