Rogojin, would he crawl for three roubles as far as the Vassiliostrof? "Oh, wouldn't he just!" "Well, look here, Gania. I wish to look into your heart once more, for the last time.
"I cannot give you any references," she said "I am quite alone in the world my people are dead you see I am in mourning. The last friend I had died a little while ago and left me four hundred pounds in bank-notes. I have them here" and she touched her breast "and if you like I will give you one of them in advance payment for the rooms and board at once." The old lady heaved a quick sharp sigh.
She wore her Teacher's Robe. "Georgie," she said, quite forgetting to speak Italian in her greeting, "someone broke into Philip's safe last night, and took a hundred pounds in bank-notes. He had put them there only yesterday in order to pay in cash for that cob. And my Roman pearls." Georgie felt a certain pride of achievement. "I've been burgled, too," he said.

So, she can make Lord Delacour do whatever she pleases; and she condescends to make him behave prettily to me, and desires him to bring me peace-offerings of bank-notes!

I lost no time in entering into treaty for the estate in the country, and I soon found a purchaser for my excellent house in town. But my evil genius prevailed. I carried my wife out senseless in my arms; and, when I had deposited her in a place of safety, returned to search for a portfolio, in which was the purchase-money of the country estate, all in bank-notes.
