then he was restored to his normal condition, and made a thousand apologies for not being able to break the bill, and i couldn't get him to touch it. he wanted to look at it, and keep on looking at it; he couldn't seem to get enough of it to quench the thirst of his eye, but he shrank from touching it as if it had been something too sacred for poor common clay to handle. i said:

"i am sorry if it is an inconvenience, but i must insist. change it; i haven't anything else."

but he said that wasn't any matter; he was quite willing to let the trifle stand over till another time. i said i might not be in his neighborhood again for a good while; but he said it was of no consequence, he could wait, and, moreover, i could have anything i wanted, any time i chose, and let the account run as long as i . he said he hoped he wasn't afraid to trust as rich a gentleman as i was, merely because i was of a merry disposition, and chose to play larks on the public in the matter of dress.

c) ordinary man
d) giving change
