Soapy had confidence in himself as suggested by a few details enlisted by the author.
Firstly, ‘He was shaven’ indicates that Soapy thought that he did not look shabby and was presentable enough to be allowed to walk into the cafe. The second piece of evidence that shows Soapy’s confidence in himself is his taking pride in his coat being ‘trim’ and his bow being ‘neat’.
The complete question is:
Extract:
Soapy left his bench and strolled out of the square and across the level sea of asphalt,, where Broadway and Fifth Anenue flow together. Up Broadway he turned, and stopped, at a luxurious café., Soapy had confidence in himself from the lowest button of his vest upward. He, was shaven, and his coat was trim and his neat, black bow had been presented to him, by a lady missionary on Thanksgiving Day. If only he could reach a table in the, restaurant unsuspected success would be his. The portion him that would show above, the table would raise no doubt in the waiter‘s mind. A roasted mallard duck, thought, Soapy, would be about the thing with a bottle of wine and then some cheese, a cup of, coffee and cigar. One dollar for the cigar would be enough. The total would not be so, high as to call forth any extreme of revenge from the café management; and yet the, meat would leave him filled and happy for the journey to his winter island., But as Soapy set foot inside the restaurant door, the head-waiter‘s eye fell upon his, tattered trousers and decadent shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him about and, conveyed him in silence and haste to the side-walk and averted the ignoble fate of the, menaced mallard. Soapy turned off Broadway. It seemed that the route to the coveted, island was not to be an easy one. Some other way of entering the limbo must be, devised., At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights and cunningly displayed wares behind, plate-glass made a shop window attractive. Soapy took a stone and dashed it through, the glass. People came running round the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood, still with his hands in his pockets, and smiled at the sight of brass buttons.,
