One
is
not
obliged
to
know
everybody
in
the
neighbourhood
,
"
--
I
observed
superciliously
.
Lucio
laughed
aloud
.
"
How
well
you
carry
your
fortunes
,
Geoffrey
!
"
he
said
--
"
For
a
poor
devil
of
a
Grub-street
hack
who
lately
was
at
a
loss
for
a
sovereign
,
how
perfectly
you
follow
the
fashions
of
your
time
!
If
there
is
one
man
more
than
another
that
moves
me
to
wondering
admiration
it
is
he
who
asserts
his
wealth
strenuously
in
the
face
of
his
fellows
,
and
who
comports
himself
in
this
world
as
though
he
could
bribe
death
and
purchase
the
good-will
of
the
Creator
.
It
is
such
splendid
effrontery
--
such
superlative
pride
!
Now
I
,
though
over-wealthy
myself
,
am
so
curiously
constituted
that
I
can
not
wear
my
bank-notes
in
my
countenance
as
it
were
--
I
have
put
in
a
claim
for
intellect
as
well
as
gold
--
and
sometimes
,
do
you
know
,
in
my
travels
round
the
world
,
I
have
been
so
far
honoured
as
to
be
taken
for
quite
a
poor
man
!
Now
you
will
never
have
that
chance
again
;
--
you
are
rich
and
you
look
it
!
"
"
And
you
--
"
I
interrupted
him
suddenly
,
and
with
some
warmth
--
"
do
you
know
what
you
look
?
You
imply
that
I
assert
my
wealth
in
my
face
;
do
you
know
what
you
assert
in
your
every
glance
and
gesture
?
"
"
I
can
not
imagine
!
"
he
said
smiling
.
"
Contempt
for
us
all
!
"
I
said
--
"
Immeasurable
contempt
--
even
for
me
,
whom
you
call
friend
.
I
tell
you
the
truth
,
Lucio
--
there
are
times
,
when
in
spite
of
our
intimacy
I
feel
that
you
despise
me
.
I
daresay
you
do
;
you
have
an
extraordinary
personality
united
to
extraordinary
talents
;
you
must
not
however
expect
all
men
to
be
as
self-restrained
and
as
indifferent
to
human
passions
as
yourself
.
"
He
gave
me
a
swift
,
searching
glance
.
"
Expect
!
"
he
echoed
--
"
My
good
fellow
,
I
expect
nothing
at
all
--
from
men
.
They
,
on
the
contrary
--
at
least
all
those
I
know
--
expect
everything
from
me
.
And
they
get
it
--
generally
.
As
for
'
despising
'
you
,
have
I
not
said
that
I
admire
you
?
I
do
.
I
think
there
is
something
positively
stupendous
in
the
brilliant
progress
of
your
fame
and
rapid
social
success
.
"
"
My
fame
!
"
I
repeated
bitterly
--
"
How
has
it
been
obtained
?
What
is
it
worth
?
"
