You think I owe a great deal to my master's wife, who brought me up.

Bless you, the whole town has paid her for that in praises, respect, and admiration,--the very best of coin.

I don't recognize any service that is only the capital of self-love.

Men make a commerce of their services, and gratitude goes down on the debit side,--that's all.

As to schemes, they are my divinity.
