Smith offered to exchange for our roan saddle mare one we found running in the lane, and advertised as being in our paddock, and no one claimed it. Dad exchanged. He yoked the new horse to the plough, and it took to the furrow splendidly but that was all; it did n't take to anything else. Dad gripped the handles "Git up!" he said, and tapped Smith's horse with the rein.
He had lately begun to haunt his banker's for information in regard to the Carnival balls, with the hope that something might be made out of them. But either there were to be no great Carnival balls, or it was a mistake to suppose that his banker ought to know about them. Colville went experimentally to one of the people's balls at a minor theatre, which he found advertised on the house walls.
If I do lose the suit against the Gravelots, a money wound is not mortal, and I'll have the leasing of my forest so well advertised that there will be competition, and I shall sell the timber at its true value." "Business is not done in that way, Monsieur le comte," said Sibilet. "Suppose you get no lessees, what will you do?" "Cut the timber myself and sell it "

The sale had been advertised for a day just one week in advance of the assizes, and the time must have been selected, so thought the archdeacon, with a malicious intention. Why, at any rate, should the things be sold before any one knew whether the father of the young lady was or was not to be regarded as a thief?
Yet in spite of this legislation, the ice-dealers of Massachusetts only this year assembled in convention in Boston upon a call, widely advertised in the newspapers, that they were holding the assembly for that precise purpose, that is to say, to fix and control the price and the output of ice.
And I say, without fear of successful contradiction, that there is not one act down on the show bills or posters not one pageant, not one wild animal, not a riding act, not a driving act, not a trapeze act, which we advertise, that we do not give you complete, in full and in its entirety.
