The Mississippi mania whirled him along with it also. In those days every man in Paris meant to be a millionaire. In the streets, alleys, and public squares every one was either buying or selling Mississippi shares. Monsieur Griffard left his pastry-shop in the charge of his eldest assistant while he himself went in search of millions, and, what is more, found them.
The buyer said that a glimmer came over his eyes, and he thought them better when he offered the price. However, he got ashamed, and took the cattle. An old respected servant of my own, who assisted me for years in the buying and selling of cattle James Elmslie, very well known here and in the south had sold twenty beasts very well at Hallow Fair for me.
I shall be at the bookstall next Monday and I shall have to buy another copy. That will be all right; you shan't miss it. But I am wondering now what the bookstall clerk will make of me. A man who keeps on buying Proverbs and Maxims. Well, as I say, they see life. "Who's Who" I like my novels long.
And we are unhappy because we are unwilling to do what we see. This vision of possible excellence will continue to haunt our generation until performance shall have overtaken the ideal promise.

Visits I admit none; and the old woman who keeps my house knows that her place entirely depends upon her saving me all the trouble of buying the things that I want, keeping off all sollicitation or business from me, and holding her tongue whenever I am within hearing. As my walks are all by night, I am pretty secure in this wild unfrequented place from meeting any company.

This hat of Lincoln's a silk plug was an extraordinary receptacle.
I answered his question by asking if I had not sold him two bottles, as well as three other men in his presence; and asked if he was in the habit of buying everything he saw, whether he needed it or not. He said he bought it because he thought it a valuable article to have in the house, and was going to send it to his wife. He asked what my price would be per week to work for him.
It was singular that he believed this thing would occur; but he did. He had not yet made his fortune, but he had been successful in the game of buying and selling lands, and luck seemed to dog his path. He was fearless, and he had a keen eye for all the points of every game every game but love. Yet he was born to succeed in that game too.
The girl colored faintly at the tone of this inquiry. "Perhaps. I think he believes in me, and that's more than you do. It's mighty flattering to a girl to have a man like Mr. Gray believe in her. Why, I am practically his agent! He buys and sells through me whenever he can." "He's buying and selling, is he? He said something about entering this field in a big way " "He's in."
