Answer:
Unless one is wealthy there is no use in being a charming fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor should be practical and prosaic. It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating. These are the great truths of modern life which Hughie Erskine never realised. Poor Hughie! Intellectually, we must admit, he was not of much importance. He never said a brilliant or even an ill-natured thing in his life. But then he was wonderfully good-looking, with his crisp brown hair, his clear-cut profile, and his grey eyes. He was as popular with men as he was with women, and he had every accomplishment except that of making money. His father had bequeathed him his cavalry sword, and a History of the Peninsular War in fifteen volumes. Hughie hung the first over his looking-glass, put the second on a shelf between Ruff's Guide and Bailey's Magazine, and lived on two hundred a year that an old aunt allowed him. He had tried everything. He had gone on the Stock Exchange for six months; but what was a butterfly to do among bulls and bears? He had been a tea-merchant for a little longer, but had soon tired of pekoe and souchong. Then he had tried selling dry sherry. That did not answer; the sherry was a little too dry. Ultimately he became nothing, a delightful, ineffectual young man with a perfect profile and no profession

Answer:
Baron Hausberg was one of the richest men in Europe. He was a great friend of Alan Trevor. Alan Trevor had invited him to pose as a model for a beggar. The millionaire dressed himself as a beggar and posed for Trevor. At this juncture, Hughie dropped in at the studio to meet Trevor. He looked at the model beggar and mistook him for a real beggar. Pitying him, he offered a sovereign. The kindness of Hughie moved the Baron. He collected all the details about Hughie from Trevor. He came to know about the condition, the Colonel had laid for the engagement between Hughie and Laura Merton. He decided to reward Hughie. He sent a sealed envelope through a messenger to Hughie. Opening it, Hughie found a cheque for ten thousand pounds. It was the wedding present from an old beggar- the 'model millionaire'.
