The world waits for you, Ivan--the world, all agape and glittering with a thousand sparkling toys; it waits greedy for your presence, ready to fawn upon you for a smile, willing to cringe to you for a nod of approval.

And why?
Because wealth is yours--vast, illimitable wealth.

Aye--you need not start or look incredulous--you will find it as I say.
