O knihe
Excerpt from Oliver's Kind Women
I have said that he had ambition, temperament, and a Spirit of adventure. By ambition I do not mean that he aspired to be a millionaire or a Prime Minister. In spite Of youth he had set himself limits, and they were well within the bounds of moderation. In the Wastrel Club (of Greek Street, Soho), where once a week he sat with a few Of his kindred spirits, he said more than once, through a haze of tobacco smoke, My friends, I intend to be satisfied with 75 I, 500 a year. I should loathe to be really rich. It smothers one's idealism. One becomes a Slave in gilded Chains.
