He stepped to Endymion's head, jerked off the halter and swung up into the saddle. "All ready, Shandon?" Again Hume laughed. Dick Venable waited a moment and snapped his watch shut. "My job's to start this race if there's one man here to run it," he said. "Shandon isn't here. It isn't my job to express any opinions.
A little remark stayed in Montague's mind as expressing the attitude of Society toward such matters. Major Venable had chanced to remark jestingly that children were coming to understand so much nowadays that it was necessary for the ladies to be careful. To which Mrs. Vivie Patton answered, with a sudden access of seriousness: "I don't know do you find that children have any morals?
"It would take but one or two millions to carry it to the main works of the Mississippi Steel Company." The Major gave a start. "The Mississippi Steel Company!" he exclaimed. "Yes," said Montague. "Oh, my God!" cried the other. "What is the matter?" "Why in the world did you take a matter like that to Jim Hegan?" demanded Major Venable. "I took it to him because I knew him," said Montague.
On the 6th of June, the same year, another small tumor was removed from the neck of the same patient, and both operations were painless. Mr. Venable inhaled sulphuric ether, and the effect of it was to render him insensible to the pain of cutting out the tumors. Dr. Long had told Mr. Venable that he would charge little or nothing for removing the tumors under the influence of ether.
Venable about how well her costume became her, she passed on out of the box. "Who is that?" asked Montague. "That," the Major answered, "that's Laura Hegan Jim Hegan's daughter." "Oh!" said Montague, and caught his breath. Jim Hegan Napoleon of finance czar of a gigantic system of railroads, and the power behind the political thrones of many states. "His only daughter, too," the Major added.

Venable sat down next to Mary, and they talked of the sea, in which a few belated bathers were splashing, and of the hot and distant city, and finally of Mary's work. These topics did not interest Mamma, who carried on a few gay, restless conversations with various acquaintances on the porch meanwhile, and retied her parasol bow several times.
But General Venable in command of the soldiers, and Admiral Penn in command of the fleet, fell to loggerheads as to which was the other's superior, and even Winslow's diplomacy could not heal the breach; so the attack upon Hispaniola proved a disgraceful failure, and as the fleet sailed away to attack Jamaica, the Great Commissioner, as they called him fell ill of chagrin and worry, and after a few days of wild delirium wherein he stood upon Burying Hill, and drank of the Pilgrims' Spring, and spoke loving words to the wife and children he should see no more, he died, and was committed to the great deep with a salute of two-and-forty guns, and never a kiss or tear, for all who loved him were far away.

Pros Passmore was an optimist, one who never used a strong word to express sorrow or dismay, but he came out of a brown study in which he had muttered, "Blaylock. No, Harp wouldn't do. Culp's. Sally Ann's not to be trusted. What about the Venable boys?
But no, sir when Bob Venable has to eat graham crackers and milk, he'll put in arsenic instead of sugar! That's the way with many a one of these rich fellows, though you picture him living in Capuan luxury, when, as a matter of fact, he's a man with a torpid liver and a weak stomach, who is put to bed at ten o'clock with a hot-water bag and a flannel night-cap!"
