"When was this?" asked the Easterner, puzzled. "The last week." "I didn't know he had had any assaying done." "O weel," said the doctor comfortably, "it may not have occurred to him to report yet. It was rich." "Mrs. McPherson, let's talk about dresses," called Mary across the table. "Here we've come down for a holiday and they insist on talking mining."
Since a young girl she had been used to spending her own, and now, thanks to Mercedes she was doing it again, and, out of her profits, assaying more expensive and delightful adventures in lingerie. Mercedes suggested, and Saxon carried out and even bettered, the dainty things of thread and texture.

"He is quite original and unique in his way. I find him really a much more agreeable man than I anticipated. You have very pleasant quarters here, Mr. Darrell. I should judge you intended this as a sort of study as well as an office." "I do intend it so. Probably for a while I shall do more studying than anything else, as it may be some time before I get any assaying."
Enough of these excursions; I was saying That half our English Bards are turned Reviewers, And Arnold was discussing and assaying The weight and value of that work of yours, Examining and testing it and weighing, And proved, the gems are pure, the gold endures. While Swinburne cries with an exceeding joy, the stones are paste, and half the gold, alloy.
"If we're going to be engineers out West, though, Harry, we simply must know a good deal about assaying precious metals," Tom had declared. So, though the chums were "taking a rest," as they phrased it, they had brought with them a small furnace and the rest of the outfit for assaying minerals in small quantities. Today, however, was altogether too fine for thoughts of work.
Very often, that piece, the size of a filbert, was the only fragment in a ton that had a particle of metal in it and yet the assay made it pretend to represent the average value of the ton of rubbish it came from! On such a system of assaying as that, the Humboldt world had gone crazy.
Being a very powerful drug, it was essential to measure exactly how strong your extract was so its dosage could be controlled. Quantitative organic chemistry was rather crude in those days. Instead of assaying in a test tube, Dr. Pottenger kept several big cages full of cats that he had adrenalectomized.
"Yes, but the boys plagued him when he was little calling him 'lean cat, so he took to going by his middle name, Maximilian, but folks nicknamed that, too, and he got sulky." Then as if fearing she had said too much, she added, "That assaying man will be looking for you if you don't get up to the office pretty quick."
After an excellent day of weakfishing on Barnegat Bay and an exceptionable supper of the good, old fashioned, country tavern kind, a social party of anglers sat about on Uncle Jo Parker's broad porch at Forked River, smoking and enjoying the cool, fragrant breath of the cedar swamp, when somehow the chat drifted to the subject of assaying and refining the precious metals.
