    In "After Twenty Years" by O. Henry, the author writes: "You were successful in the West, weren't you?" asked the cop. "I surely was! I hope Jimmy has done half as well. He was a slow mover. I've had to fight for my success. In New York a man doesn't change much. In the West you learn how to fight for what you get." This texts evidences, by his own words, that "Silky Bob" has been living well his life.

    Explanation:

    When the man answers "I surely was", he is agreeing with the fact that he was successful and throughout the story he gives signs of this. For example, when the author describes the man saying: "He had a large jewel in his necktie" and "The waiting man took out a fine watch, covered with small jewels." These sentences are proving the words of the man when he says he was successful, since diamons can only be afforded by rich people.
