"Besides, this is for efficiency," went on Billy, with an earnest air. "This man owns up that some may think a 2,000 calory ration is altogether too small, and he advises such to begin with 3,000 or even 3,500 graded, of course, according to a man's size, weight, and occupation. But he says one famous man does splendid work on only 1,800 calories, and another on even 1,600.
You can help get these things ready, and let us give them to her as we want " "She won't touch them!" cried Mrs. Comstock. "Then you can pay us, and she can take them as her right " "I won't!" "Then I will tell Elnora just what you are worth, what you can afford, and how much of this she owns.
"'I can't believe that it isn't some sort of fairy palace! I exclaimed. And to think that no one knows who owns the place or when it is going to be opened! "'I'll tell you all about that' he answered. 'I built it, I own it, and it will be opened just when you accept my offer and play in it. "It all seemed too amazing. For a time I couldn't speak coherently.
They will fight their share of the battle of this time out as nobly as they have begun it; and it will be an ill thing for the land that owns them if full justice is not done to their worth, both now and hereafter. In the same street where the old weaver lived, we called upon a collier's family a family of ten in number.
For it must be remembered that every stream in these over-civilised European countries belongs to somebody, by purchase or rent. And all the fish in the stream are supposed to belong to the person who owns or rents it. They do not know their master's voice, neither will they follow when he calls. But they are theoretically his. To this legal fiction the untutored American must conform.
"I should think they would like it. Who wouldn't like it? It's a very great honor for an old lady to be entertained to her tea in a castle. And so you live in a castle, my bonny young lady?" "Yes; my father owns Carrigrohane Castle." "Eh, love! it is a mouthful of a word for me to get round my lips. But never mind; it is but to look at you to see how beautiful and good you are."
Jean you do not say so?" "But assuredly I say so; nor is that all, Monsieur. On board this yacht was a young and beautiful lady of great wealth and beauty, as well the fiancée, so it is said, of this gentleman who owns the yacht. What is the action of these pirates in regard to this beautiful young lady and her aunt, who also is upon the yacht for the cruise? Do they place these ladies ashore?

Every peasant owns a few acres of land, and, if he produces anything above his own wants, he hauls it to market in an ox-wagon with roughly hewn wheels without tires, and whose creaking can plainly bo heard a mile away.
He depends upon Ralph, and it will be harder for me when he is not with us. His attitude towards me is just about what it has always been. I try to amuse him by reading the newspapers and with games; we have a chess-board. At times he seems grateful, and then he will suddenly grow tired and hard to control. Once or twice I have had to call in Dr. Magruder, who owns the hospital.
"I suppose you know that Mr. Dudley, the father of my friend, owns half the ranch?" "I've heerd that." "He didn't intend to buy it, but matters so shaped themselves that he couldn't help doing so. Before selling it, he sent us to take a look at it and find out whether it is all that was claimed.
