The girls cried out for joy, and the chef bore their mirth stoically, but not without a personal relish of the shoeman's up-and-comingness. "Want a hawss?" asked the shoeman with an air of business. "What'll you give?" "I'll give you thutty-seven dollas and a half," said the chef. "Sorry I can't take it. That hawss is sellin' at present for just one hundred and fifty dollas."
In this case his going with sixteen ships could not be true. I will endeavour to ascertain this matter.~ Mr. Carmichael writes that Spain has sent a hundred and thirty thousand dollas.
