Match each word or phrase to the appropriate meaning based on its context in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note":

Then he was restored to his normal condition, and made a thousand apologies for not being able to break the bill, and I couldn't get him to touch it. He wanted to look at it, and keep on looking at it; he couldn't seem to get enough of it to quench the thirst of his eye, but he shrank from touching it as if it had been something too sacred for poor common clay to handle. I said:

"I am sorry if it is an inconvenience, but I must insist. Please change it; I haven't anything else."

But he said that wasn't any matter; he was quite willing to let the trifle stand over till another time. I said I might not be in his neighborhood again for a good while; but he said it was of no consequence, he could wait, and, moreover, I could have anything I wanted, any time I chose, and let the account run as long as I pleased. He said he hoped he wasn't afraid to trust as rich a gentleman as I was, merely because I was of a merry disposition, and chose to play larks on the public in the matter of dress.

Explanation: In this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note", the tiles and the boxes to form correct pairs are matched above. In this short story, Henry presents the £1,000,000 Bank-Note to the man who has served him in the restaurant. This man cannot believe his eyes because there are only two £1,000,000 Bank-Notes and one has already been used. He thinks that an ordinary man cannot handle such a bill and doesn't give change to Henry saying that that small amount can be left for some other time. The man supposes that being dressed as a homeless is because he is playing tricks on people.
