I could kick myself now when I think how often I have to put my hand in her pocket." "I think," cried Elizabeth, "a man might love a girl enough to live on her money!" "I don't," David said, soberly. "Well," said Elizabeth, "don't worry. I haven't a cent, so you can't put your hand in my pocket! Come, we must start.
The agent stood at the counting-room window looking out at the piteous, defenseless groups that passed by. He wished bitterly that his own pay stopped with the rest; it did not seem fair that he was not thrown out upon the world too. "I don't know what they're going to do. They shall have the last cent I've saved before anybody suffers," he said in his heart.
Whatever you have of letters, and papers and proofs, I want you please to do the family a last favour by burning every last shred. I've told Chris, I won't touch a cent of the money, except what Aunt Marianna left me; and I never, never, never intend to say one more word on the subject! Thousands didn't make me happy, so why should a million?
I tell her there is the chance of her life, a fine house, fine clothes, a chance to go abroad and cultivate her musical talent, become a great singer and meet dukes and lords and crowned heads. Why, the girl is just crazy over you, and I believe she would marry you even if you did not have a cent.
When he's helped himself to a pile it's been outer them banks or them express companies, that think it mighty fine to bust up themselves, and swindle the poor folks o' their last cent, and nobody talks o' huntin' THEM! And does he keep their money? No; he passes it round among the boys that help him, and they put it in circulation.
"Give a new hand the work of an expert!" The merchant almost laughed out. He shook his head and was about to say more, when Richling persisted: "If I don't do the work to your satisfaction don't pay me a cent." "I never make that sort of an arrangement; no, sir!"
From this to the chemical composition of sea water, the total salt about 3.5 per cent, but variable: the proportions of the various salts do not appear to differ, thus the chlorine test detects the salinity quantitatively. Physically plankton life must depend on this salinity and also on temperature, pressure, light, and movement. Why should biologists strive for deeper layers?
Anyhow, I am willing to see it tried." "So you will not give me money to pay my fine?" groaned "Dodd." "Not one cent," again answered Mr. Bright, as he showed the young man to the door. As they walked through the hall, however, "Dodd" dragging himself along reluctantly, a kindlier mood took possession of the school teacher. He paused, and, turning to the young man, said: "See here.
Now suppose you agree to pay me and my partners a hundred dollars to get the wheat ashore for you and reload it after the raft floats." "I haven't a cent of money with me," replied Winn. "That's bad," said the other, reflectively. "It's awkward to travel without money. But I'll tell you what we'll do.
"Wa'al, I owe ye quite a little bunch o' money, don't I? Forty-five hunderd! Wa'al! Couldn't you 'a' done better 'n to keep this here at four per cent?" "Well," said John, "perhaps so, and perhaps not. I preferred to do this at all events." "Thought the old man was safe anyway, didn't ye?" said David in a tone which showed that he was highly pleased. "Yes," said John. "Is this all?" asked David.
