"Well, let's settle, then," I said. "You need some money to buy food at once." "I reckon I do," was the earnest reply. "There's a dollar for your day's work, and here is what your children have earned. Are you satisfied?" I asked. "I be, and I thank you, sir. I'll go down to the store this evenin'," he added. "And buy food only," I said, with a meaning look. "Flour and pork only, sir.
If I had money, I would be a deputy. With prudence there is much to be earned in the Chambers, and petitioners know that they must pay cash." "It is certainly a career," assented the artist "But, as you say, it needs money for the first investment." "Not so much as a million, though. With a good opening, and some knowledge of the law, a small sum would be enough."
I ain't a-going to refuse to bear the burden which came to be my lot. I don't suppose he's earned a single shilling since he left the regiment, and that is hard upon a poor woman who's got nothing but her wages." "Now, look here, Mrs Baggett." "Yes, sir." "Send him your wages." "And have to go in rags myself, in your service." "You won't go in rags. Don't be a fool."
Smith, my room-mate, I planned ventures of this kind in bed, descending fully armed with them upon Mr. Foster by day, in most cases to fire him, more or less, by my own enthusiasm. Upon the whole I earned my pay pretty well while working for the Chronicle, even having regard to the several small increases made therein.
All they can do is to buy them some tools, perhaps, and open the gate and say, "Sic 'em, Tige!" The children must get it themselves.

As well expect the athlete to give them his physical development he has earned in years of exercise.
As soon as he turned out, he went up to see his mother, and gave her a hundred dollars of the money he had earned, reserving the balance for the expenses of the boat. At nine Mr. Sherwood and his party came on board. It had been his intention to visit Ticonderoga; but business letters which he found waiting his arrival the evening before compelled him to change his destination to Burlington.
I cannot go to see you, dear old man, and yet I had earned one of those happy vacations; but I cannot leave the HOME, for all sorts of reasons too long to tell and of no interest, but inflexible. I do not know even if I shall go to Paris this winter. Here am I so old! I imagine that I can only bore others and that people cannot endure me anywhere except at home.

Indeed, had I attempted to leave, it is probable that the Lord Filippo would have deterred me, for I was much grown in his esteem since the disclosures that had earned me the disfavour of Madonna.
Oratiello had his father buried by charity; and then took the sieve and went riddling here, there, and everywhere to gain a livelihood; and the more he riddled, the more he earned. But Pippo, taking the cat, said, "Only see now what a pretty legacy my father has left me! I, who am not able to support myself, must now provide for two. Whoever beheld so miserable an inheritance?"
He wanted the little house with the neat, pretty garden down there half-way to the church; but was not able to purchase it, because the owner wished for full payment at once, and Andrew could only pay in instalments, as he earned the money.
