Chapter VII
“The world affords no law to make thee rich; Then be not poor, but break it, and take this.” _Apoth._ “My poverty, but not my will, consents.” _Romeo and Juliet._ The Rover arrested his step, as the other disappeared and stood for more than a minute in an attitude of high and self-gratulating triumph. It was quite apparent he was exulting in his success. But, though his intelligent face betrayed the satisfaction of the inward man, it was illumined by no expression of vulgar joy.
