"Because I want to see, to know, to learn. And when I have learned and seen and known, I want other people to see and to learn and to know. I want to write it all down, all the vast palpitating picture of it. I want to set down the psychology of the multimillionaire!" He paused. The girl stood irresolute. "Perhaps," she faltered, "I could help you." "You!" "Yes, I might." She hesitated.
'I can readily understand, said Merton, bowing, 'that the throng of wooers is enormous, and he vaguely thought of Penelope. 'The scheme will be popular. It will hit our people right where they live, said Miss McCabe, not appropriating the compliment. 'You see Pappa struck ile early, and struck it often. He was what our Howells calls a "multimillionaire," and I'm his only daughter.
"Give us half an hour to dress, and have the car ready," she directed; and then the senator put the two into the elevator and turned away to finish his cigar. The Weatherfords, multimillionaire mine-people, and so newly rich that the crisp bank-notes fairly crackled when Mrs.
"It's only that I can't sympathize with your multimillionaire, who loses a little of his heaps of money, against some poor soul to whom that little may mean life or death life or death, maybe, for his nearest and dearest. Mr. Litterny has had a small loss, which he won't feel in a year from now.

And it remains to be seen whether the multimillionaire will claim to figure as Nietzsche's 'over-man, spurning ordinary moral conventions, and will play the rôle, in future moral discourses, which the ethical dialogues of Plato assign to the 'tyrant,
Then it was that Alexander Agassiz saw the wonders of Lake Superior copper and Lake Superior iron. And Harvard lost a professor, but the world gained a multimillionaire.

Having made the survey, they stood in Memorial Hall, about to say good-bye. "Well, Mr. Eliot," said the wife, "How much money have you invested?" Mr.
