Bridget & Jacob were coming home from the hospital bout 11:30. Kathy & I made a little "brunch" of bakery & coffee.

She set about preparing the house for everyone to come over. She and Danielle made the sandwiches and put them in the refrigerator. They got out plates, glasses, napkins and silverware and set up a buffet table. Chuck went to the bakery and got some bakery.
Perhaps she would be able to bring me something to eat in the evening. Still it was doubtful if she could get away. I better had let her buy some bakery for me. With some inconceivable pride, or rather stubbornness, as I wanted money, I refused. In consequence, I suffered all night and the next day and the following night.
“The next morning I woke up and she was fast asleep. Guess I did pass out for a while. So I thought I would go surprise her, and I bought her some flowers and picked up some bakery in town. But when I got back, she wasn't in bed. […]”
Shen Lian thought for a moment, walked up to the table, and picked up some bakery, wine, and fruits. He then walked to the sofa in the corner of the hall and started eating without a care in the world.

examples: Private-equity nabobs bristle at being dubbed mere financiers.[…]Much of their pleading is public-relations bluster.

That model is still prevalent today.

Their wealth skyrocketed by $2.1 trillion — three times faster than the year before — to a total of $15 trillion.
