Beale Mclean, How would you like that, sonny? Now, don’t say you'd like it, for chances are that you wouldn't. You are no $100,000,000 kid, and in order to enjoy having a big thing like a circus all to yourself you would have to get used to hogging things.

It is misery, not pleasure, that the miser partakes @f when he hugs his gold to his breast or hides it where it ean be seen by himself only.
