I can't see how, considering all you've said to me about your not being well-off, you got that money so quick. But I know you don't want me to talk about it." "I don't, George," I said. "All I ask of you is just to forget the whole thing." "Forget! I shan't forget while I live. And, as soon as ever I can scrape it together, I'll pay you back that loan."
They must be women of independent means. I do not know why it is, but well-off people are seldom as eager about emphasising sectarian differences as those who have to work for small incomes. Perhaps they have more chance of getting interested in other things.
You know William as a State Street broker, well-off, a widower, tall, angular, slow of speech, a little bald, very much nearsighted, and the owner of the kindest heart in the world. But really to know William, you must know his rooms. William collects things. He has always collected things and he's saved every one of them.
She had lived in honesty and kindliness for a fair number of years, and she had tasted triumphant hours. She was justly respected, she had a position, she had dignity, she was well-off. She possessed, after all, a certain amount of quiet self-conceit. There existed nobody to whom she would 'knuckle down, or could be asked to 'knuckle down. True, she was old!
It was what I call tasty. "Matty wasn't what you'd call well-off not as lucky as some I could mention; but she certainly went off grand! The whole Methodist choir was out, with three numbers in broken time; and her cousin's brother-in-law from out West some kind of bishop to preach.

Mother says it's the ideal thing for relations to gather together for Christmas Day, but I've been gathered together for so many years!" "You are too well-off, my dear, that's what's the matter!
She had a feeling of astonishment at the idea of his being so well-off, and now from his words some explanation of the mysterious aid which had so helped at the mills and so puzzled Mrs. Ann. Why had he talked to her? He himself could not have told why. As he stood at the fire he went on talking, while she made her quick mental comments. "You call it noble.
"An attractive-looking pair!" whispered a woman near John Steele to another of her sex, during a louder passage in the number. "Are they " "I don't know; my dear. Perhaps. She's extremely well-off in this world's goods, and he has large properties, but a diminishing income." She lowered her voice rather abruptly as the cadence came to a pause.
There's not a girl living would be willing to marry a well-off fellow like you and go huck herself in a place she couldn't even have the running of herself or have her own say-so about the purse-strings. It may sound unbecoming, but when I marry I'm going to better myself, I am." "I why "
