Working now in Chapter 9. Leora and Martin have just gotten married, causing consternation in her family. Her father, Andrew Jackson Tozer, and her brother, Bert, are most concerned whether this new couple will be a financial burden. Now this:
"Mr. Tozer had somehow made up his mind. He could at times take the lead away from Bert, whom he considered useful, but slightly indiscreet, and unable to grasp 'the full value of a dollar.' (Mr. Tozer valued it at one dollar and ninety, while the progressive Bert at scarce more than one-fifty.)"
I wouldn't anyway, but if I did ever forget why I love Lewis, a passage like that would snap me out of it in a hurry.
