said it contained his advertisement; and that I would find out all about
his business in it; and that he would be happy to have my custom—would,
in fact, be proud to have the custom of a man of such prodigious income;
and that he used to think there were several wealthy men in the city,
but when they came to trade with him he discovered that they barely had
enough to live on; and that, in truth, it had been such a weary, weary
age since he had seen a rich man face to face, and talked to him, and
touched him with his hands, that he could hardly refrain from embracing
me—in fact, would esteem it a great favor if I would let him embrace me.
