"He cared nothing for social success, he never has accepted office till now, and he has refused over and over again law work which meant big money." "No," said Ray. "Peter worked hard in law and politics. Yet he didn't want office or money. He could more than once have been a judge, and Costell wanted him governor six years ago. He took the nomination this year against his own wishes.
Miss Luck gets him chosen to a convention by a fluke and Peter votes against Costell's wishes. What happens? Costell promptly takes him up and pushes him for all he's worth. He snubs society, and society concludes that a man who is more snubby and exclusive than itself must be a man to cultivate.

"What a tremendous horse you have?" said Leonore. "Isn't he?" assented Peter. "He's got a bad temper, I'm sorry to say, but I'm very fond of him.
