It's to be handed over solid to you. The signorina and I take the leavings. You don't claim to share them too, do you?" "No," I said, "I'm content to be a preference shareholder. If the money's found at the Golden House, it's mine. If not, the new Government, whatever it may do as to the rest of the debt, will pay me that sum." With that I pushed my money over to the colonel.
Harness: a very pleasant party, for the ladies are all clever and charming, and got on admirably together. It is right, as you are a shareholder in that valuable property of ours, Covent Garden, you should know that there was a very fine house, though I cannot exactly tell you the amount of the receipts.
"A large capital would be required," said Stutz, "a very large capital." "Yes," said Gorman, "a very large capital, much larger than I should care to see invested in the thing.
