"I suppose all old soldiers are the same," said Mrs. White.
"The idea of our listening to such nonsense! How could
wishes be granted in these days? And if they could, how
could two hundred pounds hurt you, father?"
"Might drop on his head from the sky," said the frivolous
Herbert.
"Morris said the things happened so naturally," said his
father, "that you might if you so wished attribute it to
coincidence."
"Well, don't break into the money before I come back,"
said Herbert as he rose from the table. "I'm afraid it'll
turn you into a mean, avaricious man, and we shall have
to disown you."
