Her great misfortune was to enter the world-currents only on the material plane; to find her poor little peasant-bandit-souled self mistress of the world and its money, and still provincial to the core and with no ideas of bigness that were not of the earth earthy; with nothing whatever that was both spiritual and Roman to thrill to life the higher side of her; a multimillionaire that could hardly read or write, and knew no means of spending her money that was not essentially vulgar.
"The little man at Uncle Sidney's right is Mackie, and the miserly looking one next to him is McVeigh," he whispered. "One of them will furnish your coffin, and the other will drive the nails into it. The big man with the beard is Brewster a multimillionaire; and the one who looks like Senator Bailey is Magnus, president of the Mohican National.
He had come up from New York that day to deliver his already famous speech. He was one of the many possibilities in the political arena for the governorship. And as he was a multimillionaire, he was sure of a great crowd. As an Englishman loves a lord, so does the American love a millionaire.

She was caught in the act.
"Me go down to see him, Abe!" Morris cried. "Why, the feller is a multimillionaire. With such people like that I couldn't open my mouth at all. Why don't you go down to see him?" "Why should I go down?" Abe asked. "You are the lodge brother here, Mawruss ain't it? You are the one which you are always sitting up till all hours of the night making motions.
