Now just say how you will take it in gold or Bank of England notes?" "I'm glad you said that, because I happen to have the notes about me," answered the alderman, drawing out a plethoric note-case, and counting the money with terrible reluctance.

Walraven had had a surfeit of Europe, and Washington, this sparkling winter weather, was at its gayest and best.

It was then that an unfettered press discovered that Rushbrook never was a Maecenas at all, grimly deprecated his assumption of that title, and even doubted if he were truly a millionaire.
