He is very angry with me just at present, because I have written a translation which he chose to stigmatize as 'peu correct. He did not tell me so, but wrote the word on the margin of my book, and asked, in brief stern phrase, how it happened that my compositions were always better than my translations? adding that the thing seemed to him inexplicable.
Redell remained in the anteroom on pretense of speaking to an acquaintance, and the instant Cappy disappeared into Gregg's office Redell stepped out into the hall, where he waited until Cappy had booked his order and came hunting for him. "Well, I've sold my two hundred and fifty thousand bushels at a dollar-ninety," Cappy announced. "How much margin?" Redell demanded.
They have, since the European War began, rather over-enjoyed the result of economic forces that were not of their own creation. That a considerable margin is necessary to cover the legitimate costs of, and profits on, distribution is obvious. The only direction of inquiry is how they can be legitimately minimized.
On the 14th of October we reached the settlement, consisting of a number of huts widely scattered along the margin of the river; in vain did I look for a cluster of cottages, where the hum of a small population at least might be heard as in a village. I saw but few marks of human industry in the cultivation of the soil.
Nor is any particular viewpoint necessary.

There was abundance of good grass, however, and in its upper branches, probably, there might have been some considerable extent of pasturage. The trees growing upon the margin, were the paper-barked tea-tree, and the bastard gum.
"Just where the Susquehanna leaves the Lake on its long journey to the sea" this famous Council Rock "still shows its chin above the water and marks the spot where Deerslayer met Chingachgook the Great Serpent of the Delawares." Now "its lake margin belongs to a grandson of the author, who also bears his name," is a record found in Dr. Wolfe's "Literary Haunts and Homes."
It is interesting to observe that Miller's original purpose had been to secure money to speculate with for he had been bitten deep by the tarantula of Wall Street, and his early experiences had led him to believe that he could beat the market if only he had sufficient margin. This margin he set out to secure.
This seems properly enough corrected on the margin by Hakluyt, by the word Comori, or the country about Cape Comorin. Simoltra or Sumatra. Hakluyt. Probably alluding to tatooing, which will be explained in the voyages to the islands of the Pacific ocean. Of certain Trees which produce Meal, Honey, Wine, and Poison.
Tom is doubtful if she is showing the fall to the best advantage for his purpose, but he is obliging enough to let the artist try it in her own way first. "Go up there," she says, "and stand at the head of the spring, if you want to show by comparison how big it is, or how small you are." He goes, and gets in position, and Kitty makes some pencil-marks on the margin of her sketch.
