Match the themes from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note" with the excerpts they represent.

1. the fact had gone all abroad that the foreign crank who carried million-pound bills in his vest pocket was the patron saint of [harris' eating-house]. that was enough. from being a poor, struggling, little hand-to-mouth enterprise, it had become celebrated, and overcrowded with customers.

2. when the crash should come, he might somehow be able to save me from total destruction; i didn't know how, but he might think of a way, maybe.

3. deep in debt, not a cent in the world, a lovely girl's happiness or woe in my hands, and nothing in front of me but a salary which might never--oh, would never--materialize!

4. why, it isn't six months since you were clerking away for blake hopkins in frisco on a salary, and sitting up nights on an extra allowance, me arrange and verify the gould and curry extension papers and statistics. the idea of your being in london, and a vast millionaire, and a colossal celebrity!

5. get those things off, sir, and throw them in the fire. do me the favor to put on this shirt and this suit; it's just the thing, the very thing--plain, rich, modest, and just ducally nobby.

the three theme choices are: "rags to riches" "impending doom" "wealth worship"

the previous answers, including verified, have all been wrong. it's why the question is reposted.
