"I was up that way on other business, when I heard about your man looking over this valuable acreage; so I just slipped down to Detroit and hunted up the owner and bought it. Then I sold it to you. That's all." He smiled frankly and cheerfully upon Mr.
At an astonishing rate, for the work had only been in hand three months, the vast acreage was being tracked and covered with the sheds.

'Oh, certainly, said Polycarp. 'I have not forgotten him. But I was compelled to deal with you first. Twisting his white moustache, and buttoning his overcoat across the vast acreage of his shirt-front, Polycarp disappeared from Hugo's view into the corridor.

Her confidences mostly concerned the prosperity of her farm, the magnitude of its acreage, the success of this year's lambing and last year's harvest, but they also included a few sentimental adventures she had had ever so many offers of marriage, including one from a clergyman, and she had once been engaged to a baronet's son.
I had been, in my childhood, a fascinated peruser of Mark Twain's "Roughing It," and his picture of Honolulu or rather my picture formed from his description of it demanded something novel in foliage and architecture, and a great acreage of tropical vegetation.
In 1860 Louis Manigault listed the forty-one rice plantations on the Savannah River and scheduled their acreage in the crop. Only one of them had as little as one hundred acres in rice, and it seems to have been an appendage of a larger one across the river. On the other hand, two of them had crops of eleven hundred, and two more of twelve hundred acres each.
