Which three parts of this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" contain hyperbole?

"I may use your name! Your name--think of it! Man, they'll flock in droves, these rich Londoners; they'll fight for that stock! I'm a made man, I'm a made man forever, and I'll never forget you as long as I live!"

In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz! I hadn't anything to do, day after day, but sit at home, and say to all comers:

"Yes; I told him to refer to me. I know the man, and I know the mine. His character is above reproach, and the mine is worth far more than he asks for it."

Meantime I spent all my evenings at the minister's with Portia. I didn't say a word to her about the mine; I saved it for a surprise.

Options:
they'll flock in droves
these rich Londoners
they'll fight for that stock
I'm a made man forever
In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz
the mine is worth far more than he asks for it
I spent all my evenings at the minister's with Portia
