For your washing and firewood, perhaps forty per month, which makes two hundred and for your incidental expenses, say fifteen per week, which makes three hundred. We thus arrive at a total of one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five francs, which, reduced to English money at the average standard of twenty-five francs to the sovereign, represents the exact sum of seventy-five pounds.
And then when she saw that Christophe really believed in what he said, she thought him mad and lost interest in him.

The single curve of individual orderly work is not general, nor strictly constant in the type described. But it may be considered as the average type of work in the level of order achieved.
But the great range of Phoenicia, its glory and its boast is Lebanon. Extended in a continuous line for a distance of above a hundred miles, with an average elevation of from 6,000 to 8,000 feet, and steepest on its eastern side, it formed a wall against which the waves of eastern invasion naturally broke a bulwark which seemed to say to them, "Thus far shall ye go, and no further."
