I do not see much use, Deacon Pratt, in your giving yourself any further trouble. My uncle was not a very rich man, I perceive, and I must go to work and make my own fortune if I wish more than I've got already. If there is any demand against the deceased, I am ready to discharge it." This was coming so much to the point that the deacon hardly knew what to make of it.
"Did you say no?" he asked. "I said no!" replied Pratt. "I'm not going to take five thousand pounds for a chance that's worth fifty thousand. Hang you! if you hadn't been a black sneak-thief, as you are, I'd have had the whole thing to myself! And I don't know that I will give way to you. If it comes to it, my word's as good as yours and I don't believe Eldrick would believe you before me.

Pratt was clever at sacrificing, but without a runner ahead of him it was up to him to try for a hit, and he fouled the first two balls. "Now, you've got him sure, Phil," said Cooper.

"And Ratty M'Gill?" asked Pratt, smiling. "Poor Ratty!" said Frances again. "He's gone down to the Pecos country," said the Captain, briskly. "Best place for him.
President Roosevelt had little difficulty last spring in making Miss Keller understand him, and especially requested Miss Sullivan not to spell into her hand. She got every word, for the President's speech is notably distinct. Other people say they have no success in making Miss Keller "hear" them. A few friends to whom she is accustomed, like Mrs. A. C. Pratt, and Mr.
What! was the gala so soon forgotten, and all the marked attentions paid that night to Lady St. James! attentions, you know, Pratt, which were looked upon with a jealous eye, and made me enemies enough, I am told, in another quarter! Of all people, I did not expect to be slighted by Lady St. James!"
