He knew Umboo liked boys and girls, for many of them had ridden on his back as he worked in the lumber yard. "I thought Umboo was smart as soon as I saw him take the handkerchief from my pocket, said the lumber man to the circus man. "That is why I sent for you to let you buy him. For I knew you wanted a smart, young elephant for your circus." "Yes, I am glad to get Umboo," spoke the circus man.
"I will buy it of you, Mother Bouvard." "Will you though? So much the better, sir; it would have remained on my hands a long time, and I only took it to serve the lady. I then told her what I would give for the things, and I expected she would ask me more than I had offered; but no, she said not a word about it.
Let's try to find that out." I made no answer but I was beginning to think; and to wonder, too, in a vague, not very pleasant fashion. Was this was Crone's death, murder, whatever it was at all connected with the previous affair of Phillips?

Hardy, on a matter of business. You jest think them things over until I see you again and, of course, all this is on the q. t. But now let's talk business. When you want to buy a postage stamp you come down here to Moroni, don't you? And why? Why, because it's near, sure!
On the way the boat stopped at two or three ports, and each tune the children went ashore to buy a souvenir. "Show me your treasures, and I will show you mine," Gerda said to Erik, after the first stop. The boy shook his head.
"Yes, I might do that. I'm going to buy a collar for that beast of a dog of hers. All the time that I was talking to her yesterday she was so taken up with it that I don't believe she heard half that I said. My fingers itched to catch it up and chuck it through the window." "Don't forget yourself, my boy, don't forget yourself!" cried the merchant. "A single false step might ruin every thing."
