He's a millionaire, but it doesn't make him pompous or stand-offish.

He and I spoke--er--conversed together as friendly and easy as if we had known each other all our lives.

He is very much interested in East Wellmouth.

He tells me that, if the place keeps on suiting him as it has so far, he intends making it his permanent home.

Of course he won't stay here ALL the year--the family have a house in Florida and one in New York, I believe--but he will call East Wellmouth his real home and his interests will center here." There was a general expression of satisfaction.
