(The question refers to the story 'After Twenty Years' by O' Henry.)
Bob, who had come from the West to meet his friend Jimmy Wells after twenty years, had done well for himself. He was proud of his success and both showed and spoke about it.
When Jimmy asks Bob if he was 'successful in the West', Bob says that he indeed was. He also hopes that his friend has done 'half as well'.
While in conversation with the cop who arrests him later, Bob proudly says that the West gave him 'everything', suggesting that he had been so successful that there was nothing that he desired and did not have.
Bob's sense of dressing also portrays his success and riches. He wore a ' large jewel in his necktie' and also an expensive watch 'covered with jewels'.
