John, is the hyperlink supposed to lead to the article? (I'd love to read it!)
“How can the king live in luxury while his people suffer?” asked Siphiwe Hlophe, a human rights activist. “How much money does he need, anyway?”

The New York Times, In Destitute Kingdom, Ruler Lives Like a King, by Barry Bearak, September 5, 2008
"... but also for her who not being sufficiently moneyed scarcely and often not even scarcely could subsist valiantly and for an inconsiderable emolument was provided."
Joyce, Ulysses, 14
