The German feller's drawing five hundred of the best, but I could only get four-fifty for the Russian. Can't say why. I should have thought, if anything, he'd be the bigger draw. Bit of a comic in his way! And then he saw me. There was some slight unpleasantness. In fact, I've got the sack. After it was over I came away to try and find you.
Minnie tried to talk with her during breakfast, but there was not much of interest which they could mutually discuss. As on the previous morning, Carrie walked down town, for she began to realise now that her four-fifty would not even allow her car fare after she paid her board. This seemed a miserable arrangement.
It was rather a chilly day, and the less time he spent in the undress uniform of shorts the better. He bought a correct card for twopence, and scanned it. The strangers' mile was down for four-fifty. There was no need to change for an hour yet. He wished the authorities could have managed to date the event earlier. Four-fifty was running it rather fine.
With the entire five hundred one felt a substance at one's back; but it seemed to him that should he let it dwindle to four-fifty or even four-eighty, all the efficiency would be gone out of the money, as though there were some magic power in the round figure. But what sort of work?

At length we arrived so close that I could see the periscope almost as distinctly without the glasses as with them, and still intently watching it, I laid my hand on the engine-room telegraph, carefully estimating the steadily decreasing distance which separated us from moment to moment. Six hundred yards. Five hundred. Four-fifty. Four hundred.
It took her back to the few weeks in which she had collected or rather had received almost with the air of a domestic, four-fifty per week from a lordly foreman in a shoe factory a man who, in distributing the envelopes, had the manner of a prince doling out favours to a servile group of petitioners.
They had to. I learned somethin' off them about farmin'." "Forget the farm," said Minnie. "Yeh," echoed Gus, "forget the farm stuff. I can get you a job here out at the works for four-fifty a day, and six when you learn it right." Dike looked from one to the other, alarm and unbelief on his face. "What d'you mean, a job? Who wants a job! What you all " Bella laughed jovially.
"That woman is a skin-flint and I don't propose to let her beat me. No doubt she was glad to get four-fifty last fall. She's only trying to see if she can wring me for a dollar more. If I have to board all next summer, I shall have to watch every penny, or I'll not come out even, let alone saving anything.
