Thus in the shadow of the Eagle babbled the woman whom  for all her absurdities  Margaret had loved as a mother. Billy thanked her with an angry heart. THUS IN THE SHADOW OF THE EAGLE BABBLED THE WOMAN WHOM FOR ALL HER ABSURDITIES MARGARET HAD LOVED AS A MOTHER BILLY THANKED HER WITH AN ANGRY HEART
 adulation now that you are wealthy. Oh, yes, you will find that wealth makes a great difference, Billy. But not with Adèle and me--no, dear boy, despise us if you will, but my child and I are not mercenary. Money makes no difference with us; we shall be the same to you that we always were--sincerely interested in your true welfare, overjoyed at your present good fortune, prayerful as to your brilliant future, and delighted to have you drop in any evening to dinner. We do not consider money the chief blessing of life; no, don't tell me that most people are different, Billy, for I know it very well, and many is the tear that thought has cost me. We live in a very mercenary world, my dear boy; but _our_ thoughts, at least, are set on higher things, and I trust we can afford to despise the merely temporal blessings of life, and I entreat you to remember that our humble dwelling is always open to the son of my old, old friend, and that there is always a jug of good whiskey in the cupboard. NTIALLY WILL PURSUE YOU WITH ADULATION NOW THAT YOU ARE WEALTHY OH YES YOU WILL FIND THAT WEALTH MAKES A GREAT DIFFERENCE BILLY BUT NOT WITH A DELL AND ME NO DEAR BOY DESPISE US IF YOU WILL BUT MY CHILD AND I ARE NOT MERCENARY MONEY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WITH US WE SHALL BE THE SAME TO YOU THAT WE ALWAYS WERE SINCERELY INTERESTED IN YOUR TRUE WELFARE OVERJOYED AT YOUR PRESENT GOOD FORTUNE PRAYERFUL AS TO YOUR BRILLIANT FUTURE AND DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU DROP IN ANY EVENING TO DINNER WE DO NOT CONSIDER MONEY THE CHIEF BLESSING OF LIFE NO DON'T TELL ME THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT BILLY FOR I KNOW IT VERY WELL AND MANY IS THE TEAR THAT THOUGHT HAS COST ME WE LIVE IN A VERY MERCENARY WORLD MY DEAR BOY BUT OUR THOUGHTS AT LEAST ARE SET ON HIGHER THINGS AND I TRUST WE CAN AFFORD TO DESPISE THE MERELY TEMPORAL BLESSINGS OF LIFE AND I ENTREAT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT OUR HUMBLE DWELLING IS ALWAYS OPEN TO THE SON OF MY OLD OLD FRIEND AND THAT THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A JUG OF GOOD WHISKY IN THE CUPBOARD
