Excerpt from The Millionaire Baby
The morning of August eighteenth, 190 was a memorable one to me. For two months I had had a run of bad luck. During that time I had failed to score in at least three affairs of unusual importance, and the result was a decided loss in repute as well as great financial embarrassment. As I had a mother and two sisters to support and knew but one way to do it, I was in a state of profound dis couragement. This was before I took up the morning papers. After I had Opened and read them, not a man in New York could boast of higher hopes or greater confidence in his power to rise by one bold stroke from threat ened bankruptcy to immediate independence.
