Question

Hughie Erskine was a very good-looking young man. Men and women liked him because he never said an unkind word about anyone. But he was not rich and clever and always changing his job. Hughie loved a girl named Laura Merton, the daughter of a retired colonel. Laura loved him too, but her father would not allow them to marry unless Hughie could provide ten thousand pounds. One morning, Hughie visited his friend, Alan Trevor, a famous painter who was finishing a full-sized picture of a beggar man. The beggar was standing in a corner of the room. He looked so miserable that Hughie felt sorry for him. When Alan came out of the room, Hughie gave the beggar a sovereign, the only thing he had in his pocket. Then he said goodbye to Alan. That night Hughie went to the palette club and met Alan. Alan told Hughie about the old beggar he had used as his model. The beggar asked Alan about Hughie. Then Alan revealed that the beggar was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest man in Europe. Hughie was very startled but also angry with Alan, because Alan had told Baron Hausberg about his private life. Hughie walked home unhappily, leaving Alan laughing loudly. The next morning, while Hughie was having his breakfast, baron Hausberg’s messenger came and handed him a letter from the baron. To his surprise, there was a checque for ten thousand pound as a wedding present to Hughie and Laura. Hughie could not convey in words how happy he was because he could marry Laura. At the wedding party, Alan remarked, “millionaire models are rare enough but model millionaires are rare still.”
