"So you assert, Mr. Levy." "Well, I may be wrong; that remains to be seen or not as you decide," rejoined the Jew, lifting his mask for the moment.

And so I ask you to amuse yourself by abstracting something else of mine that 'appens to have got into the wrong hands; then, I say, we shall be quits."
"But someways the desert is worse than the snow. We got ketched three times without no water. Never did know, Nap or me, how Van got our two old dried-up carcasses out the last time, down to Death Valley. He's a funny cuss, old Van." Once more Beth merely answered: "Oh." "You bet!" resumed Gettysburg. "He never quits. It ain't in him.
I can't exhibit it, but I'm damned if he can make much money out of it. We're quits!" Sir Seymour turned to the inspector. "Well, inspector, I'm very sorry to have given you this trouble for nothing," he said. "I know you're a busy man. You take the cab back to Scotland Yard. Here you must allow me to pay the shot. I'll stay on for a few minutes.
The range of the poet's thought is of necessity not so wide, and his concessions must needs be greater than the novelist's. On these points we will cry quits, and come at once to the vital question the creation. Is Lucien inferior to Hamlet? Is Eugénie Grandet inferior to Desdemona? Is her father inferior to Shylock?

As Jones always quits the room as soon as he has said his good thing, as Cincinnatus and General Washington both retired into private life in the height of their popularity, as Prince Albert, when he laid the first stone of the Exchange, left the bricklayers to complete that edifice and went home to his royal dinner, as the poet Bunn comes forward at the end of the season, and with feelings too tumultuous to describe, blesses his KYIND friends over the footlights: so, friends, in the flush of conquest and the splendour of victory, amid the shouts and the plaudits of a people triumphant yet modest the Snob of England bids ye farewell.

Tell him so from me." He wrenched the door open, and went out on that, leaving her cold and sick with dread. Was it but an idle threat to terrorize her? Was it but that? Her impulse was to seek Mr.

I never heard of her going out, or even of anybody calling upon her. Still," he reflected, as he mounted to his room and lighted his lamp and his fire, "that sort of thing might happen." Then, after a pause: "I reckon I'd better send her a note to prepare her. I'll write it to-night, and leave it at breakfast in the morning. She never quits the kitchen regions while breakfast is on.
He was quite sure that she had behaved to him very badly. He admitted no excuse for her eagerness to hurt him as soon as she was tired of him. She might hate him; but after all there were obligations of courtesy, of decency, of womanhood, and her venomous temper had broken them all. He was well rid of her.
