The barest letter of the law had been complied with. "I've seen a house, made out'n willow branches, and out'n coal-oil cans, called resident buildin's under the act," said Samuels, "and they was so lost in the woods that it needed a compass to find 'em." He, Samuels, on the other hand, had actually planted an orchard and made improvements, and even lived on the place for a time.
He raised his voice. "Samuels, come in and witness this. Now, what is the scheme?" Keith produced another paper. "It is written out in detail here." Neil reached for it, but Keith drew it back. "One moment." He turned it over on the blank side and wrote: "This is in full the financial deal referred to in contract entered into this 7th of June, 1852, by Malcolm Neil and Milton Keith."
"Great news for the Barnes's, ain't it? The head of the house is as proud as a peacock about it. Said he was going out to Samuels, the diamond merchants; going to make his sister some uncommon fine present. Jolly to be uncle to a marquis, ain't it, Colonel? I'll have nothing under a duke for my girls. I say, I know whose nose is out of joint.
Finally they got so hot behind the Trammels in 1847-48, they pulled up stakes and went down on the Guadalupe River and carried my mother's mother down there.

They would then go to the Printers and have a lot of labels struck off and put into their cheap clocks, and palm them off as mine. This fraud was carried on for several years.

'Better late than never, cried Simeon Samuels heartily, as he produced a bottle from the sideboard. 'Do you take it with hot water? 'Thank you not at all. I am only staying a moment.
"Well, yes, I suppose Brighton is pleasanter," said Mr. Montagu Samuels. "Oh, but so many Jews go there," said Percy Saville. "Yes, that is the drawback," said Mrs. Henry Goldsmith.
