"You-all ain' ever ?" He hesitated. "Used hit before? Not much! Ah ain' a plumb fool! But they's nothing like comin' from a fam'ly that's observin' an' contrivin'." A smile of self-appreciation swept over his face. "Ah've knowed about this place ever since Ah was fryin' size. In fact, mah father well, never min' him.
Such of these letters as came while Carrie was still in the Seventeenth Street place were read with more interest though never delight than those which arrived after she was installed in her luxurious quarters at the Wellington. Even there her vanity or that self-appreciation which, in its more rabid form, is called vanity was not sufficiently cloyed to make these things wearisome.
"Poisoned by the kindness of men, I was ruined through the fatal capacity of every poor fellow during the making of his career, through the capacity of being reconciled with little in the expectation of much.

He felt, rather than knew, that no thought of his loving her otherwise than as an elder brother might love a little sister had ever crossed her consciousness. He felt that the abrupt suggestion of that thought would only shock and distress her. "I'll find a way of making others suggest it, after a while," he resolved.
"She is not a girl after my heart," Madge replied, carelessly; then added, under her breath, "She's a vampire, but she shan't drain Graydon's life-blood." Miss Wildmere was certainly in a genial mood. The munificent offer received from Mr. Arnault had enhanced her self-appreciation, and she felt that she had met it with rare nerve and sagacity.
