"Don't let him suspect anything from your manner." "I won't. I want to see him expose his plans." Five minutes afterwards Louis Wheeler entered the hotel. "I've got the tickets," he said, "but I had to buy them of a speculator, and they cost me more than I expected." "How much?" "Two and a half apiece. So there is no change coming back to you." "Never mind!
"Look there, now! Saw you ever a more slap-up carriage? See, too, the pair of bays two hundred guineas apiece. Coachman, too, and footman you'd find 'em hard to beat. There she is now, stepping out of it. Wait here, lad, till I do the honours of my house."
We met afterwards some little, common-looking men, who had been so successful at the mines that they could hardly carry their sacks of gold-dust, which made hard white ridges in their hands. They had fifteen thousand dollars or more apiece. I thought, how unequally and unwisely Fate distributes her gifts; but then, as Mrs.
