Now the journey between Nineveh and Calah and the plains of Lower Chaldæa was far easier than it is now considering especially the state of the roads between Tauris, Ispahan, and Teheran, on the one hand and Nedjef on the other. The transit from Assyria to Chaldæa could be made, like that of the Egyptian mummy, entirely by water, that is to say, very cheaply, very easily, and very rapidly.
At the end of this period I resolved to go to North Alabama and work in the coal-mines to get money for clothing, books, and to help me along with my expenses when the money earned at Tuskegee should run out. Realizing that every dollar in my school life would count, I decided to live most cheaply, even cooking for myself.
And I was quite astonished, during his final burst out to me at the very end of things, when the poor girl was on her way to that fatal Brindisi and he was trying to persuade himself and me that he had never really cared for her I was quite astonished to observe how literary and how just his expressions were. He talked like quite a good book a book not in the least cheaply sentimental.
For some time it looked as though canal and canalized river navigations must come to an end; for although heavy goods could be carried very cheaply on canals, and with respect to the many works and factories erected on the canal banks, or on bases connected therewith, there was with canal navigation no item of expense corresponding to the cost of cartage to the railway stations, yet the smallness of the railway rates for heavy goods, and the greater speed of transit, were found to be more than countervailing advantages.
Love like mine will triumph over all obstacles! Love like his, forsooth!" she remarked; "let him keep such stuff as that for Mistress Mallet, or his other mistresses.

If he holds me thus cheaply, I will let him see that he is mistaken.
They had, in fact, been his own from the first. The heart of this country-bred girl had fallen at the first word from his mouth. Had she not so confessed to him? She was very nice, very nice indeed. He loved her dearly. But had he not sold himself too cheaply? I by no means say that he was not a brute.
II. Its alleged object was the Golden Fleece: what that actually was can only be conjectured; that no commercial advantages would tempt the people of that age is obvious, when we reflect on their habits and manners; that the precious metals would be a powerful attraction, and would be regarded as cheaply acquired by the most hazardous enterprizes, is equally obvious.
My left boot, too, was full of blood. She was silent for awhile. Down in the valley we could hear the screams of the poor horses. The light of the flames lit up the pine trunks about us to a bright scarlet. "Sir, you hold our gratitude cheaply."
Schwirtz came back from a trip he would visibly remove from his suit-case bunches of letters in cheaply pretentious envelopes of pink and lavender. She scorned to try to read them, but she fancied that they would prove interesting to the judges. §
I paid, in truth, a very high price for my friendship with Mr. Fox. But, since it did not quite ruin me, I look back upon it as cheaply bought. To know the man well, to be the subject of his regard, was to feel an infatuation in common with the little band of worshippers which had come with him from Eton.
