No one who has not been bankrupt at least twice could afford to be so careful about his dress as Mr. Richmond is," said Josephine.
"He admits a solitary bankruptcy," said Amber. "Bankruptcy is the official recognition of genius."
"It certainly is the shortest way to distinction," said Josephine. "Bankruptcy's a sort of English Legion of Honour, isn't it?—a kind of bourgeois decoration."
