Colin ever afterward declared that this was a great stimulus during his college work. He had done well the first year, but his late training under Dr. Edelstein and the spur of research had taught him how to concentrate upon his studies.
Accordingly, after supper, he took a small power-boat and ran downstream, taking with him a very sensitive pair of scales to determine the exact weight of the pearl, calipers to ascertain its size, and other instruments especially designed by Dr. Edelstein. At the same time, he was ordered to secure the shell from which the pearl had been taken, should it be obtainable.
Soon The McMunn Brothers was under way. Lord Dunseverick looked at the prostrate Von Edelstein. "What are we going to do with him?" he asked. "Drown him," said McMunn. A trickle of blood was running down Von Edelstein's chin. He spat out some fragments of broken teeth. "It appears," he said, "that I have made a mistake about your intentions."
"Perhaps," said Lord Dunseverick, "we ought not to drown him. Suppose we take him home, and hand him over to the Ulster Provisional Government?" "I wish you would," said Von Edelstein, "I am a student of human nature. I should greatly like to meet your Ulster Government." "You'll maybe not like it so much when they hang you," said McMunn, "and it's what they'll do." Mr.
This was an allusion to the circumstance that Philip Noblestone had once been Pesach Edelstein, and the resounding bang with which the broker closed the door behind him, was gratifying evidence to Abe that his parting shot had found its target. "Well, Noblestone," Zudrowsky cried, as the broker entered the show-room of Zudrowsky & Cohen, "what did he say?"

If it turns out that they're any use to us we may strike a bargain, but I'll no pay for a pig in a poke." He laid his bill and a form of receipt on the table. Von Edelstein pushed them aside.
He drew a folded document from his pocket, and spread it out before Lord Dunseverick. "It is signed," he said, "as you see, by the Emperor himself. It places my services, the services of Captain von Edelstein, of the Prussian Guard, at the disposal of the Ulster Volunteer Force, as military organiser." Lord Dunseverick glanced at the document before him. He read parts of it with close attention.
Remember, too," he added, "that a negative result is often of just as much value as a positive, for it solves the problem to the eggstent of eliminating that partigular fagtor." "And you really think I should write it up, Dr. Edelstein?" "Of gourse." "But would the Bureau take it?" "That is for the Gommissioner to say, and he would decide on its merits.
Of course, when one of these 'rushes' comes, a very large number of inferior pearls are found, which are of no commercial value but which afford good material to work on. Just now," he added, "I think it is the most interesting part of the work. Come along, and I'll introduce you to Dr. Edelstein."
He found that the flood dangers were small above the junction of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and when an opportunity arrived to do some fish collection in the overflows, the boy thanked the superintendent of the station, and said he would rather keep to the mussel work. This, a day or two later, came to the notice of Dr. Edelstein.
