(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

A HEAVY Operator overtaken by a Reverse of Fortune was bewailing
his sudden fall from affluence¹ to indigence².

"Do not weep," said the Reverse of Fortune. "You need not suffer
alone. Name any one of the men who have opposed your schemes, and
I will overtake HIM."

"It is hardly worth while," said the victim, earnestly. "Not a
soul of them has a cent!"
