Which of the following can Mr. Butler NOT be normally regarded as? [br]

But he had learned how to be economical, and out of that three dollars he went on saving money.

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...
