You see, when the bargain was made with me the American said that if I reached Havre at a certain time a thousand francs extra would be paid to me, so I was anxious to get along as quickly as I could. I told him it was dangerous to navigate the Seine at night, but he paid me well for attempting it.
I give myself, or part of me, to anyone I choose. It is for dealers and merchants to bargain. I never bargain. I am a Queen. And I said in wrath: Thou shalt give thyself no longer to anyone but me. Thou hast already cheated me by making me the loser in a bargain where I lose all, gaining nothing in exchange.
You will give me anything, and all the things, that may come to your knowledge as the investigation proceeds? Is it a bargain, Miss Sloane?" "A bargain, Mr. Hastings," she assented. "I appreciate, as well as you do, the need of fair dealing between us. Anything else would be foolish." "Fine! That's great, Miss Sloane!" He was still sorry for her.
She came there with a man named Renaud, who has a big shop in Regent Street, and had spent money on her, I imagine. She was interesting because she was something new in the way of vulgarity. It was for this man Renaud that I did the portrait, but when it was finished he repudiated the bargain. He said it wasn't a bit like her. You see, I was not looking at her with his eyes"

"Give me five minutes. I'll order a horse out for you." She smiled, and considerately removed the captain, by despatching him to the stables.
''But, if you only receive four hundred, and give me four hundred, what the deuce will you make out of such an operation? ''Trust entirely to your generosity. ''What! leave me to do what I like! I take you up by Jupiter! Pedro, that is a noble trait in your character I take you up. ''Then it is a bargain.
But let us at least bargain that they shall not erect the maxims of their own feebleness into a rule for those who are braver and of stronger principle than themselves. And do not let the accidental exigencies of a personal mistake be made the foundation of a general doctrine.
Was it the Scot, or the Hakim, or yonder holy hermit, that hinted such a wild bargain?"
When they reached the bottom and met the first hilarious group, Max took Fario by the button of his jacket and said to him, "Yes, my good Fario, I'll give you a magnificent cart, if you will give me two hundred and fifty francs; but I won't warrant it to go, like this one, up a tower." At this last jest Fario became as cool as though he were making a bargain.
"And you are prepared to believe you can reform me?" said Nickie the Kid. "I am not only prepared to believe it I am determined to believe it," said the young clergyman, thumping the table. Nickie smiled again. "I submit myself to the experiment" he said, "but promise nothing. I don't think you will succeed. Your intentions are good, but mine are not, and it takes two to make a bargain."
