I save more than a dollar a bottle on New York prices, and these saved dollars count up in a month. Personally I prefer cider or lager beer, but in New York we dare not own to liking a thing unless it is expensive." "It can hardly be a pleasant place for a poor man to live in, if that is the case." "My dear Buel, no city is a pleasant place for a poor man to live in.
They don't put up the price 50 per cent. merely because a girl has an American accent. Oh no. They think she likes to buy at New York prices. And they are so honourable down in the city that nobody ever gets cheated. Why, you could put a purse up on a pole in London, just as as was it Henry the Eighth ?" "Alfred, I think!" suggested Buel. "Thanks! As Alfred the Great used to do." Mr.
I read your book in the proof-sheets, and I ran it down in great style to your publisher." "I am sorry you did not like it." "I don't say I didn't like it. I ran it down because it was business. I made up my mind when I read that book to give a hundred pounds for the American rights. I got it for twenty." Brant laughed, and Buel felt uncomfortable.
I think I'll make a charge of indecency against the book." "Good heavens!" cried Buel, aghast. "There is nothing of that in it." "I am afraid not," said Brant, regretfully. "But it will give us a week more at least before it is decided. Anyhow, I'm ready for the pirates, even if they do come out.
"Very good," said Buel, entering into the spirit of the occasion. "Singing is not my strong point, and after you hear me at it once, you will be glad to pay a heavy premium to have it stopped." "Say, Buel, can you play poker?" "No, but I can learn." "That's business. America's just yearning for men who can learn. We have had so many Englishmen who know it all, that we'll welcome a change.
However, he come to his bearin's after a while, and told me about our folks, and how't Hetty Buel wasn't married, but keepin' deestrict school, and her old grandmother alive yet. "Well, I kinder heartened up, and agreed to take passage with Seth. Good Lord, Doctor! what's that?"
These two tickets are exactly the same with the exception of the numbers. Mr. Buel has just as much right to insist on being alone in the room as far as the tickets go, and I have had no instructions in the matter." "But it is an outrage that they should promise me one thing in London, and then refuse to perform it, when I am helpless on the ocean." "If they have done so " "If they have done so?
It might not have done quite so well with any other house; but I told you in London I thought it was bound to go. The pushing was quite legitimate." "In that case I shall be down to see the reporters in a very few minutes." Although Buel kept up his end of the conversation with Brant, his mind was not on it.
All this time he had utterly ignored Buel, whose colour was rising. The young man said quietly to the steward, "Take out the portmanteau, please." When it was placed in the passage, Hodden entered the room, shut and bolted the door. "Will you see the purser, sir?" said the steward in an awed whisper. "I think so. There is doubtless some mistake, as he says."
Buel said with a sigh, "I wish there was success in store for me. I would risk the malady you call the 'swelled head." "Success will come all right enough, my boy. 'All things come to him who waits, and while he is waiting puts in some good, strong days of work. It's the working that tells, not the waiting.
