value even he called being made a property of. Often or as occasion of this sort have I heard
him declare he did not like to be made a property of or he
would not be made a property of: he would have regarded

had for its accompaniment an ardent ambition and to
that appetite it contributed to apply secure continually repeated
rebuffs and disappointments.
