Excerpt: ...my little girl, continued Druce, rubbing his chin, not knowing just how to explain matters in the cold financial atmosphere of the place in which they found themselves. Oh! About Ed.''s wife, said Sneed, looking puzzled. Yes. She''s fretting her heart out because your two girls won''t call upon her. I found her crying about it yesterday afternoon. Won''t call? cried the General, a bewildered look coming over his face. Haven''t they called yet? You see, I don''t bother much about that sort of thing. Neither do I. No, they haven''t called. I don''t suppose they mean anything by it, but my little girl thinks they do, so I said I would speak to you about it. Well, I''m glad you did. I''ll see to that the moment I get home. What time shall I tell them to call? The innocent old man, little comprehending what he was promising, pulled out his note-book and pencil, looking inquiringly at Druce. Oh, I don''t know. Any time that is convenient for them. I suppose women know all about that. My little girl is at home most all afternoon, I guess. The two men cordially shook hands, and the market instantly collapsed. It took three days for the financial situation to recover its tone. Druce had not been visible, and that was all the more ominous. The older operators did not relax their caution, because the blow had not yet fallen. They shook their heads, and said the cyclone would be all the worse when it came. Old Druce came among them the third day, and there was a set look about his lips which students of his countenance did not like. The situation was complicated by the evident fact that the General was trying to avoid him. At last, however, this was no longer possible, the two men met, and after a word or two they walked up and down together. Druce appeared to be saying little, and the firm set of his lips did not relax, while the General talked rapidly and was seemingly making some appeal that was not responded to. Stocks instantly went up a few points.... Robert Barr, Books, Fiction and Literature, Revenge! Books>Fiction and Literature The book has no illustrations or index.

In some natures there are no half-tones; nothing but raw primary colours. John Bodman was a man who was always at one extreme or the other. This probably would have mattered little had he not married a wife whose nature was an exact duplicate of his own. Doubtless there exists in this world precisely the right woman for any given man to marry and vice versâ; but when you consider that a human being has the opportunity of being acquainted with only a few hundred people, and out of the In some natures there are no half-tones; nothing but raw primary colours. John Bodman was a man who was always at one extreme or the other. This probably would have mattered little had he not married a wife whose nature was an exact duplicate of his own. Doubtless there exists in this world precisely the right woman for any given man to marry and vice versâ; but when you consider that a human being has the opportunity of being acquainted with only a few hundred people, and out of the few hundred that there are but a dozen or less whom he knows intimately, and out of the dozen, one or two friends at most, it will easily be seen, when we remember the number of millions who inhabit this world, that probably, since the earth was created, the right man has never yet met the right woman. The mathematical chances are all against such a meeting, and this is the reason that divorce courts exist. Marriage at best is but a compromise, and if two people happen to be united who are of an uncompromising nature there is trouble. In the lives of these two young people there was no middle distance. The result was bound to be either love or hate, and in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Bodman it was hate of the most bitter and arrogant kind.
