 Of all the houses which Martin Kendrick owned, he used the oldest and meanest for his own habitation. It was an old tumble-down building, on a narrow street, which had already lived out more than its appointed term of service, and was no longer fit to “cumber the ground.” But the owner still clung to it, the more, perhaps, because, as it stood there in its desolation, unsightly and weather-beaten, it was no unfit emblem1 of himself.
 
Martin the miser2! Years of voluntary privation, such as in most cases follow only[2] in the train of the extremest penury3, had given him a claim to the appellation4. It might be somewhat inconsistent with his natural character, that, with the exception of the one room which he occupied, the remainder of the large house was left tenantless5. After all, it was not so difficult to account for. He could not bear the idea of having immediate6 neighbors. Who knows but they might seize the opportunity afforded by his absence, and rob him of the gains of many years, which, distrusting banks and other places of deposit, he kept in a strong box under his own immediate charge?
 
Martin had not always been a miser. No one ever becomes so at once; though doubtless the propensity7 to it is stronger in some than in others. Years ago,—so many that at this time the recollection only came to him dimly, like the faint sound of an almost-forgotten tune,—years ago, when the blood of youth poured its impetuous current[3] through his veins8, he married a fair girl, whose life he had shortened by his dissipated habits; and the indifference9, and even cruelty, to which they led.
