When a parcel of ore arrives at any of the works, say Freiberg or Clausthal, it is carefully assayed by three or four different persons and then handed over to practical experts, who are expected to produce the full amount of previous metal according to assay; and if by any chance they do not, a fixed percentage of the loss is deducted from their salary; or, if the result is in excess of this assay which is more frequently the case, a small bonus is added to their pay.
And so he went privily into the court, and saw this adventure, whereof it raised his heart, and he would assay it as other knights did, but for he was poor and poorly arrayed he put him not far in press. But in his heart he was fully assured to do as well, if his grace happed him, as any knight that there was.
There's a hundred thousand tons like that in sight! Right in sight, mind you! And when we get down on it and the ledge comes in solid, it will be the richest thing in the world! Look at the assay! I don't want you to believe me look at the assay!"
Some other day and in some other place I may assay him in friendliness, with honor and credit both to myself and him." Nor am I pleased that you should sit by and suffer this knight to carry away all the credit of arms from Cornwall in despite of the knights of Cornwall.
And in Sicily there is a manner of serpent, by the which men assay and prove, whether their children be bastards or no, or of lawful marriage: for if they be born in right marriage, the serpents go about them, and do them no harm, and if they be born in avoutry, the serpents bite them and envenom them. And thus many wedded men prove if the children be their own.
I thought, how in the deuce did he assay our ore without melting the snow on the cap of the flue? The more I thought about it the more I was mystified. I went across to his office and said, 'Amos, I suppose you gave us the usual fire test on this ore? 'Yep, he answered.
"Where'd you get this?" he asked, holding up a piece of white rock, and she sighed and brushed away her tears. "Over on the dump," she answered wearily. "That's all Paymaster ore. Don't you think you'd better go?" "Never ran away yet," he answered briefly and balanced the rock in his hand. "Pretty heavy," he observed, "I'll bet it would assay. Have you got very much on the dump?"
Their thanksgivings ended, the Calvinists withdrew into the forest, led by their new chief, who had at his first assay shown the great extent of his knowledge, coolness, and courage. This new chief, whose superiors were soon to become his lieutenants, was the famous Jean Cavalier. Jean Cavalier was then a young man of twenty-three, of less than medium height, but of great strength.
On the edge of it was a man and the silly elation left my heart as the gas leaves a toy balloon when you stick a pin in it. It was not Hutton outside. It was for the second time that night only Macartney! I stood and stared at him like a fool. It was a good half minute before I even wondered what had brought Macartney out of his bed in the assay office.
"What that?" she cried, snatching the specimen away from him and bursting into a nervous laugh. "That assay? Well, you are a greenie it's nothing but barren white quartz!" "Oh, it is, eh?" he rejoined and gazed at her hectoringly. "You seem to know a whole lot about mineral." "Yes, I do," she boasted. "Death Valley Charley teaches me.
