Anton Trendellsohn believed that he would be rich, and was sure that he knew the ways of trade; and therefore he nursed his ambition, and meditated what his action should be when the days of his freedom should come to him. Then Nina Balatka had come across his path. To be a Jew, always a Jew, in all things a Jew, had been ever a part of his great dream.
When at last their eyes did meet Anton perceived with delight that the boy's face went very white, that his lips twitched, and that he suddenly leant against a tree to support himself. These signs of fear were most agreeable to the wicked man. He felt that in a very short time the purse would be his. "Anton," said poor Joe, when he could force any words from his trembling lips.
Tipton had neatly and concisely summarized the provisions of Lane Fleming's will, and had also listed all Fleming's life insurance policies, with beneficiaries, including a partnership policy on the lives of Fleming, Dunmore, and Anton Varcek, paying each of the survivors $25,000. "I see Gladys and Geraldine and Nelda each get a third of Fleming's Premix stock," Rand commented.
As to her father, if only he could have been alone in the matter, she would have had some hope of a compromise which would have made it not absolutely necessary that she should separate herself from him for ever in giving herself to Anton Trendellsohn.
But it was to Rubinstein, not Ivan, that she addressed herself: "What has this young man been about, Anton? Your style is certainly very much improved!" "Your Highness, it was not my barcarolle you heard, but a clever bit of improvisation on my theme my own development having proved, no doubt, too much for Monsieur Gregoriev's technique."

And then you, yourself " "What of me myself, Nina?" "I do not think you trust me altogether; and unless you trust me, I know you will not make me your wife." "That is certain; and yet I do not doubt that you will be my wife."
He ran to the door of the caravan; of course it took Anton but a moment to overtake him, to catch him by his arm, and, shaking him violently, to lead him to an inner room, into which he flung the poor child, telling him roughly that he had better stay quiet and make no fuss, or it would be worse for him. Little Maurice raised impotent hands, beating Anton with all his small might.
She had suggested that this marriage with the Christian girl might be abandoned without the disgrace upon Anton of having broken his troth, and she had thereby laid herself open to a suspicion of having worked for her own ends of having done so with unmaidenly eagerness to gratify her own love.
He had interested in his ventures a small group of Chicago men who were watching him Judah Addison, Alexander Rambaud, Millard Bailey, Anton Videra men who, although not supreme figures by any means, had free capital. He knew that he could go to them with any truly sound proposition.
I'll wager that bullet isn't far from his heart a right and left! Ah! I'll never talk about shooting again. Two with two shots, and bullets at that! The two brothers! If he'd had a third shot he'd have killed their papa. Better luck next time. What a shot! Ors' Anton'! And to think that an honest poor chap like me will never get the chance of a right and a left two gendarmes!"
