CHAPTER III  
[
Scene-The Studio.]  
"
"
"
Oh, John, friend of my boyhood, I am the unhappiest of men."  
You're a simpleton!"  
I have nothing left to love but my poor statue of America--and see, even  
she has no sympathy for me in her cold marble countenance--so beautiful  
and so heartless!"  
"
You're a dummy!"  
Oh, John!"  
"
“Oh, fudge! Didn't you say you had six months to raise the money in?"  
"Don't deride my agony, John. If I had six centuries what good would it  
do? How could it help a poor wretch without name, capital, or friends?"  
"Idiot! Coward! Baby! Six months to raise the money in--and five will  
do!"  
"
Are you insane?"
