Which of the following can Mr. Butler NOT be normally regarded as? [br]
W: There is Mr. Butler. He had comparatively no advantages at first. He lingered for years before he went to work in a printing-office, and he got three dollars a week, at first. His income today is at least thirty thousand a year. How did he do it? He was honest, faithful, and industrious, and economical. He denied himself the enjoyments that most boys indulge in.
M: I’d say they were pretty hard lines for a young fellow. Three dollars a week! How could he live on it? You can bet he didn’t have any frills.
W: Yeah, but he was soon earning more than three dollars a week. When he was only seventeen, he was earning excellent wages at setting type. But he was ambitious. He worked in the daytime, and studied at a night school. He had his eyes fixed on the future. He wanted a career, not a livelihood, and he was content to make immediate sacrifices for his ultimate again. But he had learned how to be economical, and out of that three dollars he went on saving money.
M: Why, I pay five dollars a week for board now. He must have lived like a dog. The food he ate...
W: He cooked for himself on a little kerosene stove.
M: There’s one thing I’ll bet you he fed himself like that for years and years, on a boy’s stomach, and I bet his stomach’s none too good now for it. I’1l bet he’s got dyspepsia right now!
W: Yes, he has, but...
