She no longer tried to leave him, attracted by the thought of the jewel she already tried to see, to imagine. "Does it take very long to make a thing like that?" she asked.

Why, you wretched old man!" he fairly shouted at Samuel Mace, "how dare you even so much as insinuate that I know anything about your missing bracelet if there is any missing bracelet." "You was in my store it was gone after you left. You took it," stubbornly insisted the jeweler. "I tell you I didn't take it!" cried Frank. "You give it up, or I'll have you arrested," declared the jeweler.
Du Roy said: "See here throw in this chronometer at fifteen hundred francs; that makes four thousand, and I will pay cash. If you do not agree, I will go somewhere else." The jeweler finally yielded. "Very well, sir." The journalist, after leaving his address, said: "You can have my initials G. R. C. interlaced below a baron's crown, engraved on the chronometer."
"It is pure gold," said the jeweler, and he paid the farmer a big price for it. Each day the goose laid a gold egg. The farmer had a dozen. "I shall soon be a rich man," he said, "but I do wish the goose would lay more than one egg a day." After the goose had laid many eggs, the farmer said, "That goose has many more gold eggs for me. I will not wait for one a day.
These and other things Ben-Zayb said in print, while by mouth he was inquiring whether there was any truth in the rumor that the opulent jeweler was going to give a grand fiesta, a banquet such as had never before been seen, in part to celebrate his recovery and in part as a farewell to the country in which he had increased his fortune.
Frank noticed that Gill Mace, the nephew of the village jeweler, was among their number. Frank soon turned out a first-class whistle for the applicant, who went away tooting at a happy rate.

Flint returned. He did not want the friendly jeweler to think that he had been dishonest. It was clear that he was the victim of a conspiracy, and that the plot had been engineered by Simon Rich and carried out by his nephew. As Andy's board was paid by Walter Gale, he would not be distressed by want of employment, but would be able to remain in New York.
I am willing to take it back for eighteen thousand when you inform me, according to our legal formality, how it comes to be in your possession." This time M. Lantin was dumfounded. He replied: "But but examine it well. Until this moment I was under the impression that it was paste." Said the jeweler: "What is your name, sir?" "Lantin I am in the employ of the Minister of the Interior.
Son, you're gettin' a pile more education out of this than you would in college. No, honey, you just keep your locket. It ain't worth five dollars. Did you? That jeweler ought to have my job, 'cause he sure robbed you! You call that watch an heirloom? Heirloom is my middle name, miss. Just get them danglers out'n your ears, lady. Thanks! Don't hurry, mister; you'll bust the chain."
