I took too big a risk. You see, I'd got so used to being lucky, it seemed as if I couldn't go wrong. Everything had come my way. Ever since I began in that Montreal railway office, after leaving college, I hadn't a single setback. I pulled things off. I made money, and I plumped it all into my railways and the Regent Bank; and as you said a minute ago, the Regent Bank has closed down.
I have never forgotten this undeserved setback. It resulted in our taking a poor view of General Exelmans, who got away with a reprimand from General Sébastiani and from the Emperor, who was influenced by his friendship with Murat.
They would consider that because of our size we were acting the part of the bully in order to reap financial benefit. They call us the 'Dollar Republic, you know.

On either side of the immediate sector which included the prison camp, the battle was still raging fiercely, mostly with success on the side of the Americans, though in places they suffered a temporary setback.

That means a serious setback to my political progress; means perhaps my political ruin." "Your political suicide, James. And there is another side to it," continued Selma, pathetically. "My side. I wish you to think of that.
