He did not administer the cold steel once. Old times rushed back upon me the remembrance of old services his rescuing me from the brigands his gallant conduct in the affair with the Countess Dei Spinachi his lending me the 1,700L. I almost burst into tears with joy my voice trembled with emotion. 'George, my boy! I exclaimed, 'George Marrowfat, my dear fellow! a glass of wine!
A comfortable tenement of the kind costs from 300l. to 500l., an exceptional article 700l. We at once set out to cast a first glance upon the Izrah mine. The word is properly Izíá, a stone, also the name of the man who began gold-digging on the spot.
The buildings were well advanced, and nearly 700L. had been expended, when a quarrel occurred between Dudley and his partners, which ended in the stoppage of the works, and the concern being thrown into Chancery.

The King, it seems, hath given her a ring of 700l. which she shows to every body, and owns that the King did give it her; and he hath furnished a house in Suffolke-street most richly for her; which is a most infinite shame.
Up, and walked to the hospitall: very large and fine, and pictures of founders and the History of the hospitall; and is said to be worth 700l. per annum, and that Mr. Foly was here lately to see how their lands were settled. And here, in old English, the story of the occasion of it, and a rebus at the bottom. So did give the poor, which they would not take but in their box, 2s. 8d.
Nothing like it for the health, ma'am; and beautiful shooting. My friend had 700l. in gold in a carpet bag, without a lock, lying about on the stoep. 'All right; nobody steals money or such like here. I'm going to pay bills in Capetown.
