There was a curious mixture of stupendous Samaritanism and tremendous indifference. Millions were poured into charities and millions were squandered on dissipation. Kedzie's funds were drawn away astoundingly faster than even Dyckman could replenish them. Hideous accounts of starving legions were brandished before the eyes of all Americans.
For the success of the proposal he was about to make, he depended on this fact. "Who's this man Pitt?" asked Hargate. "Oh, pal of mine," said his lordship. "Why?" "I can't stand the fellow." "I think he's a good chap," said his lordship. "In fact," remembering Jimmy's Good Samaritanism, "I know he is. Why don't you like him?" "I don't know. I don't." "Oh?" said his lordship, indifferently.

There must be a limit to Good Samaritanism, you know!" "It won't be the least trouble," Ann assured her. "Rather the reverse, in fact. My cob wasn't out yesterday, and it'll do him good to go out to-day.
Samaritanism that goes off with half a charge is sure to do great mischief somewhere; but Miss Eunice's, now properly corrected, henceforth shot off at the proper end, and inevitably hit the mark.

But at the time Septimus hid his Good Samaritanism under a cloud of vagueness. Then came a period during which Zora lost him altogether. Days passed. She missed him. Life with the Callenders was a continuous shooting of rapids.
