"But Governor, you don't mean always to live in Mannahatta, do you? — and nowhere else?"
"My work is there, Winnie."
"Yes, but you can't play there, Governor."
"I don't want to play," he said gently and lightly.
"But why, Governor?" — said Winnie, whom the remark made uneasy, she couldn't tell why; — "why don't you want to play? why shouldn't you?"
"I feel more appetite for work."
"But you didn't use to be so," said Winnie, raising her head to look at him. "You used to like play as well as anybody, Winthrop?"
"Perhaps I do yet, Winnie, if I had a chance."
"But then what do you mean by your having more appetite for work? and not wanting to play?"
"I suppose it means no more but that the chance is wanting."
