When the Taurus begins producing, I'll have enough to keep the smelter going." "When the Taurus begins producing?" Bartel smiled skeptically. "Didn't Johnson and Leroy drop fortunes on that expectation?" "I'll bet five thousand dollars we make a strike within two weeks." "Chimerical!" pronounced the graybeard as he rose to go, with an air of finality.
"We'll take it off your hands at the price it cost you." "Not for sale, Mr. Bartel." "Very well. We'll give you ten thousand more than you paid for it." "You misunderstand me. It is not for sale." "Oh, come! You bought it to sell to us. What can you do with it?" "Run it," suggested Ridgway. "Without ore?" "You forget that I own a few properties, and have leases on others.
By the first post I got my directed envelope with a dirty scrap of paper enclosed, on which was written with a carpenter's pencil in a sprawling hand, "Sam Bloxam, Korkrans, 4 Poters Cort, Bartel Street, Walworth. Arsk for the depite." I got the letter in bed, and rose without waking Mina. She looked heavy and sleepy and pale, and far from well.
They are mentioned by the historian Bartel in 1636 as inexplicable by him, and by the residents in the place. A not less perplexing rock shelter is that of Fadarelles in the Gorges of the Tarn.
Ridgway lit a cigar before he answered: "One million dollars." "What?" screamed Bartel. "Not a cent less. I call it the Trust Buster. Before I'm through, you'll find it is worth that to me." The lawyer reported him demented to the Consolidated officials, who declared war on him from that day. They found the young adventurer more than prepared for them.
That was a grand surprise, and made me sort of drunk with vanity and gladness to think I had come so far so much, much farther than anybody else in our village, including Bartel Sperling, who had such a great opinion of his travels. We buzzed around over that empire for more than half an hour, and saw the whole of it.
Sit down, sit down." Bartel went into his little pantry, and brought out an excellent home-baked loaf; for it was his one extravagance in these dear times to eat bread once a-day instead of oat-cake; and he justified it by observing, that what a schoolmaster wanted was brains, and oat-cake ran too much to bone instead of brains.
It was not because I was proud of my travels and excited about having been around the big world to China, and feeling contemptuous of Bartel Sperling, "the traveler," as he called himself, and looked down upon us others because he had been to Vienna once and was the only Eseldorf boy who had made such a journey and seen the world's wonders.
I said to the Baron yesterday, 'You know poor little Bartle is dead. The Baron, picking his teeth, murmured, turning over the leaves of his memory, 'Bartel! Bartel! I remember un petit gros, vrai? and the leaves of the Baron's memory were turned back, and Bartle was as much forgotten in five minutes as the burnt end of a cigarette.
Arrived at Parliament House, just near the first trees, I suddenly, by some association of ideas, bethought myself of a young artist I knew, a stripling I had once saved from an assault in the Tivoli, and upon whom I had called later on. I snap my fingers gleefully, and wend my way to Tordenskjiolds Street, find the door, on which is fastened a card with C. Zacharias Bartel on it, and knock.
