What evidence shows Bob and Jimmy Wells are proud of their accomplishments in "After Twenty Years" by O. Henry?

In the story, Bob is dressed expensively. His necktie is decorated with a large jewel and his watch is encrusted with small jewels. When the police officer asks him whether he was successful in the West, Bob applies in the affirmative. He boasts that he had to fight for his success, implying that his accomplishments were hard-won. By his own words, Bob is proud of everything he has achieved.

Jimmy Wells appears to have been the first police officer to speak to Bob. From his letter at the end of the story, Jimmy admits he was on time to meet with Bob. After recognizing him as a wanted man, however, Jimmy couldn't bring himself to arrest his old friend. He sent a plainclothes officer instead. Jimmy Wells is said to have looked 'strong and important' at the beginning of the story. He moves confidently and is a "fine-looking cop." From the description of the way Jimmy carries himself, we get the idea he is proud to be a police officer trusted to guard the peace in New York City.
