I asked an eminent actuary the other day to make me some calculations. They are rough, general calculations, and no doubt they might be more exact. But roughly, I believe it to be no exaggeration to say that the rates to cover a man till seventy are in many cases scarcely half what they would be, if they had to cover him till death. Do you see what that means? It is a prodigious fact.
"But but but " said the girl, taken aback by the largeness of this order "But you don't expect to oust Colonel Cowles?" "We are not necessarily speaking of to-morrow or next day. An actuary will tell you that I am likely to outlive Colonel Cowles. I mean, first, to have my dismissal recalled, and, second, to be made regular assistant editor at three times my present salary.
Hark ye! the Chancellor of the Exchequer does me the honour to dine with us, and I want you to see him; for the truth is, I have bragged about you to his Lordship as the best actuary in the three kingdoms." Roundhand could not refuse such an invitation as that, though he had told us how Mrs.
The exact price could not be fixed. The lawyers combined in saying that the absolute sum of money to include all Ralph's interest in the estate could not be named that side of Christmas.

It was a passage, almost a tunnel for a few yards, leading to an open space, on one side of which was an old churchyard strange survival in such a part and on the other the offices of several firms of stockbrokers, a Russian banker, an actuary. It was the barest of impulses which led him to glance up the entry before he blew out the match.
But let not the reader insist on tracing the course of it henceforth. Klein, though faithful and exact, is not a Pitaval; and we find in him errors of the press. The acutest Actuary might spend weeks over these distracted Money-accounts, and inconsistent Lists of Jewels bought and not bought; and would be unreadable if successful.
He thinks that in view of the restitution Tedham made as far as he could, and his excellent record elsewhere it would be a fine thing for the Reciprocity to employ him again in our office, and he wanted to suggest it to the actuary." "Basil! You didn't allow him to do such a cruel thing as that?" "No, my dear, I am happy to say that I sat upon that dramatic climax."
Where is the actuary who can appraise the value of a man's opinions? 'When we speak of a man's opinions, says Dr. Newman, 'what do we mean but the collection of notions he happens to have? Happens to have! How did he come by them?
Benedetto listened attentively to them and murmured half aloud: "May God have mercy on me." "And the devil, too," whispered Beauchamp to Chateau-Renaud. "Benedetto has become a howling coward. It's a great pity!" The judge beckoned to the actuary and ordered him to read the indictment.
The actuary of the national debt couldn't calculate the number of children who are coming here on Twelfth Night, in honor of Charley's birthday, for which occasion I have provided a magic lantern and divers other tremendous engines of that nature.
