The Lion and The Mouse

CHAPTER IX
19/45

The man who has it possesses power over the man who has it not, and power is what the ambitious man loves most." He stopped to pick up a book.

It is the literary sensation of the year.
Why?
Because it attacks me--the richest man in the world.

It holds me up as a monster, a tyrant, a man without soul, honour or conscience, caring only for one thing--money; having but one passion--the love of power, and halting at nothing, not even at crime, to secure it.

That is the portrait they draw of your father." Jefferson said nothing.
