Which of the following can Mr. Butler NOT be normally regarded as?

He worked in the daytime, and studied at a night school. He had his eyes fixed on the future. He wanted a career, not a livelihood, and he was content to make immediate sacrifices for his ultimate again. But he had learned how to be economical, and out of that three dollars he went on saving money.
M: Why, I pay five dollars a week for board now. He must have lived like a dog. The food he ate...
W: He cooked for himself on a little kerosene stove.
M: There’s one thing I’ll bet you he fed himself like that for years and years, on a boy’s stomach, and I bet his stomach’s none too good now for it. I’1l bet he’s got dyspepsia right now!
W: Yes, he has, but...
