No lady is a lady without having a box at the Opera: so my Jemmy, who knew as much about music, bless her! as I do about Sanscrit, algebra, or any other foreign language, took a prime box on the second tier. It was what they called a double box; it really COULD hold two, that is, very comfortably; and we got it a great bargain for five hundred a year!
"Wait until you return," pleaded Barbara. "How do I know that you will not take Martin to-night, and be unable to free him to-morrow." "You have my word." "Your word against my love; it is too unequal a bargain. If you ride with my promise to-morrow, you must leave Martin with me. He has been my mad playfellow ever since I can remember." "You have my word," said Rosmore, "it must suffice."
"How can I proceed, when you won't pay attention to me; or, what is more, to your own interests?" "Oh! my own interests! well I am alive to them." "Is it a bargain, then?" "It is a bargain, most ingenuous, most subtle, and most conscientious Hycy! Enable me to enter upon the farm of Ahadarra to get possession of it and calculate upon my most let me see what's the best word most strenuous advocacy.
The bargain being thus made and concluded, Kaliko first examined the gold and jewels and then sent it away to his royal storehouse, which was well filled with like treasure. Next the captives were sent away in charge of the nome with the golden collar and keys, whose name was Klik, and he escorted them to a small cavern and gave them a good supper.
She held it a for moments, and then with a pleased smile passed the blanket to him, bowed gracefully, wheeled quickly, and slipped away charmingly. "Hurra!" fairly shouted Elwood, "you are as good as Tim at making a bargain." "She must live somewhere about here, and no doubt will tell how she got the watch, and that may set some of her friends on our track." "Let 'em come," said Tim.
I win, Norhala, even though you slay me. That is all that is now important." There was doubt upon Norhala's face and I caught a quick gleam of contemptuous triumph glint through the depths of the evil eyes. "Empty will be your victory over me, Norhala," he said; then waited. "What is your bargain?" she spoke hesitatingly; with a sinking of my heart I heard the doubt tremble in her throat.
"If I paid you well, White Man, would you stop here at my kraal, and mend guns for me?" asked Cetywayo anxiously. "It might depend on the pay," answered Hadden; "but for awhile I am tired of work, and wish to rest. If the king gives me the permission to hunt for which I asked, and men to go with me, then when I return perhaps we can bargain on the matter.
I daresay he will look upon us as interlopers." "I don't think so, Sophia. Mr. Lovel is a gentleman, and a sensible man into the bargain. He is not likely to have any absurd ideas of that kind." "I suppose he is very much pleased at having secured such a rich husband for his daughter," Miss Granger hazarded presently, with the air of saying something agreeable.
He remained very stiff and peremptory about the marriage contract, the £100, and wrote her one very unpleasant letter about it; and he feared lest she being so attached to her children might not be tender to him "when there soon would be an end of the old man." At last she yielded to his sharp bargain and they were married.
He had carried out his part of the bargain and now desired his quid pro quo. Meanwhile the Senate was trying to organize and having failed because of the even division of the parties, stopped the attempt long enough to act on the nominations.
