At ninety he was much the same as at fifty. At ninety-nine they began to call him well-preserved; but unchanged would have been nearer the mark. There were some that shook their heads and thought this was too much of a good thing; it seemed unfair that anyone should possess (apparently) perpetual youth as well as (reputedly) inexhaustible wealth.
‘It will have to be paid for,’ they said. ‘It isn’t natural, and trouble will come of it!’
But so far trouble had not come; and as he was generous with his money, most people were willing to forgive him his oddities and his good fortune. He remained on visiting terms with his relatives, and he had many devoted admirers among those of poor and unimportant families. But he had no close friends, until some of his younger cousins began to grow up.
