The luxury which will exhibit itself in streets and houses will have a dubious air; every one will know that there is something wrong with it, people will spy and denounce, and find to their disgust that nothing can be proved; the well-off will be partly despised, partly envied; the question how to suppress evasions of the law will take up a good half of all public discussions, just as that of capitalism does now.
"If Norma and Alice are ever going to be well-off now is the time. When they're so old they can't walk, money won't do 'em any good!" Which showed that Betty, for all her sound sense, was still a little girl. Very old ladies, who can not walk, certainly need money to make them comfortable and keep them so.
But all that sweep of wind, and sky, freshness of rain, and distant colour could not drive out of Gyp's heart the hopeless aching and the devil begotten of it. There are men who, however well-off either in money or love must gamble. Their affections may be deeply rooted, but they cannot repulse fate when it tantalizes them with a risk.
The only kind of work founded on "leisure" which does in our day not merely increase the advantages of already well-off persons, but actually filter down to help the unleisured producers of our wealth is not the work of the artist, but of the doctor, the nurse, the inventor, the man of science; who knows?
They were industrious farmers, though, and the three girls and their mother worked from morning till night, so the farm prospered and the Sizers were reputed to be "well-off." Molly, the eldest girl, had attracted Louise, who declared she was pretty enough to arrest attention in any place.
'He's going to be married! There's news for you. The first of the flock, Aunty, so say good-bye to him. Her name is Ludmilla Heldegard Blumenthal; good family, well-off, pretty, and of course an angel. The dear old boy wants Uncle's consent, and then he will settle down to be a happy and an honest burgher. Long life to him! 'I'm glad to hear it.
If I was needin' a meal and saw I'd got a well-off son-in-law " "Mamma," said Susan, "you're perfectly cynical." Mrs. Egg pronounced, "I'm forty-five years of age," and got up. The daughters withdrew. Mrs. Egg covered the chocolate urn with a click and went into the kitchen. Two elderly farmhands went out of the porch door as she entered. Mrs. Egg told the cook: "Least said, soon'st mended, Sadie.
It was a new sight for the managing director to behold the large and apparently well-off families filing into the pews, for, to say truth, Mr Clearemout was not much in the habit of attending church, and he had never before entered a Methodist chapel. He watched with much curiosity the gradual filling of the seats, and the grave, quiet demeanour of the people.
It wasn't long before the rumour spread that old Hrolfur was crazy, and for a long time hardly anyone dared to go to sea with him. Now, that's all a thing of the past, said Eric and smiled. Nowadays there are always more who would like to go with him than he can take. And does he catch plenty of fish? Yes, he rarely fails. Isn't he quite well-off then? I don't know.
Presently Jamison conceded privately to Cochrane that he and Bell would need shortly to take off on another journey of exploration with some other expedition. Neither of them thought to retire, though they were well-off enough. They were stock-holders in the Spaceways company, which guaranteed them a living. Cochrane put Spaceways, Inc., into full operation.
