"It kept me from squandering money on foolish pleasures, for I had none to spend; it made me industrious and self-reliant, and when I obtained employment it made me anxious to please my employer." "I hope it will have the same effect on me, sir." "I hope so, and I think so. What sort of a boy is this son of Mr. Duncan?" "If his father were not a rich man, I think he would be more agreeable.
Cyrilla, you are supposed to be the brainiest one of us. Prove your claim to such pre-eminence by thinking of some brand-new amusement, especially suited to rainy afternoons. That will be putting your grey matter to better use than squandering it on Greek verbs out of study limits." "If only I'd got a letter from home today," said Mary, who seemed determined to persist in gloom.
What your feelings may be as an old inhabitant, I don't know, but I have always looked up to the people at Elba Hall, and I say I don't like to have a Deserter squandering convict's money there with his forty-pound- a-year cook, and his champagne at seventy a dozen.

Organization is only good as a means; it is stupefying as an end.
The torture to him had become greater than he could bear, that never-ceasing cannonade, that seemed to grow more furious with every minute. Every time he approached the window it pierced him to the heart. More spilling of blood, more useless squandering of human life! At every moment the piles of corpses were rising higher on the battlefield, and his was the responsibility.
Since her marriage she had never said a word to him about her money, unless it were to ask that something out of the common course might be spent on some, generally absurd, object. But now had come the time for squandering money. She was not only rich but she had a popularity that was exclusively her own.
"I assure you," he said, "I have not neglected your wishes. I have written to Rushton on the subject. We both know by this time, Lady Randolph, that when you have made up your mind and you have the most perfect right to do so though we may not like it, nor think it anything but a squandering of money, still we are aware we have no right to oppose " "It is not that," said Lucy faintly.
