With the cool insolence of a bloated capitalist, secure in his millions, he majestically drew a banknote for fifty roubles from his pocket-book and sent it to the noble young man as a humiliating piece of charity. You can hardly believe it, gentlemen! You are scandalized and disgusted; you cry out in indignation! But that is what he did!
"Yes, on that we ARE stiff. Five pounds, please." Mitchy drew out his pocket-book even though he explained. "What I mean is that I don't give out the great thing." With which he produced a crisp banknote. "DON'T you?" asked Vanderbank, who, having taken it from him to hand to Mrs. Brook, held it a moment, delicately, to accentuate the doubt. "The great thing's the sacred terror.
"I'm glad you're looking forward so to enjoying your vacation in the forest," smiled Mrs. Prescott. "It does seem fortunate that you have such a treat at hand to repay you for your disappointment." Suddenly Dick looked blank for an instant. Laying down his knife he employed his right hand in making a frantic thrust into one of his trousers' pockets. Then he fished up a banknote.

He tipped the waiter generously and rose. "You'd have to keep under cover as much as possible," he continued planning, when they were again on the street.
"I cannot take it upon myself to advise you, for you will only blame me if I do so. Play at your own discretion. Say exactly what you wish staked, and I will stake it." "Very well. Stake another four thousand gulden upon the red. Take this banknote to do it with. I have still got twenty thousand roubles in actual cash."

When she shook hands with him Nancy had the banknote ready and she left it in his hand. Before she got up the steps, however, he ran back, pushed aside the brakeman, and reached her. "Say! you can't do that," he gasped, his face as red as his hair. "Do what?" demanded the girl. "You can't tip me. Say! I ain't the waiter nor the janitor of the flat.
She took the twenty-dollar bill out and looked at it again. It was very real. Cora Rathmore sat behind her in this class. Nancy happened to turn about as she slipped the banknote out of sight again, and she saw that her roommate was looking hard at her. Nancy turned away herself.
