"You will understand my decision all the better," she continued, "if I tell you what a strange discovery I have made. This morning a gentleman called here, who said he was a business-man, and had an appointment with Count Ville-Handry which was of the utmost importance. "The servants had told him that their master was out.
And now if Ignace can only get a chance to paint the fav'rite grandchild of one of the Yes, sir; I talked to them as a business-man to business-men, and it went. They're square; they're solid; they'll treat us right. Never you fear. In a year from now you'll be wearing diamonds and saying: 'O'Grady, you're the wan that hung them on me. Now will you give Ignace your room?"
"Oh! after supper Mr Grove and his friend Barnes began to discuss the harbour question, and I very foolishly allowed myself to be drawn into the discussion. Mr Green was there, the great western merchant. He is a long-headed fellow, that. You must know him, Mr Ruthven." "I know him well. He is a remarkably clever business-man, and a good fellow; though, I suppose, few know it so well as I do.
I had to remind myself, more than once, that I was not responsible to any one. "I just felt like it," was such a very weak explanation to offer to this grave business-man, for disarranging two years of carefully-laid plans. I found I was getting to be a little afraid of Richard: we had been so long apart, and he had grown so much older.
"Then save your grandchild," pursued Roscoe Orlando. Jeremiah stopped blinking and opened his eyes to a wide stare. "Aha! this fetches him!" thought Roscoe Orlando. "Will you have her marry a business-man of means and ability," he went on, "or will you have her tie up to a poor devil of a painter, with no friends, no position, no influence, no future?" Jeremiah scratched his chin.
They are very courteous in their salutations; they have time enough to bow and take their hats off, which, of course, no business-man can afford to do. Their beavers are smoothly brushed, and their boots well polished; all their appointments are tidy; they look the respectable walking gentleman to perfection.
If he died intestate, I shall petition for letters of administration." "Come, Kay, dear," Mrs. Parker announced; "heavy business-man stuff! I can't bear it! Will you take a walk with us, Mr. Okada?" "Very much pleased," the potato baron replied, and flashed his fine teeth in a fatuous grin. Farrel smiled his thanks as the good lady moved off with her convoy.
I came to see Samuel Brohl, who is a business-man, and it is a commercial transaction that I intend to hold with him." And drawing from his pocket a porte-monnaie, he added: "You see I do not come empty-handed." Samuel settled himself in his arm-chair. Half closing his eyes, he watched M. Langis through his eye-lashes.
He didn't want to be a business-man, because you have to know business; and he didn't want to be a school-teacher, because he had seen too many of them. As far as he had any choice, it lay between being Robinson Crusoe and being the Prince of Wales. His father refused him both and put him into a dry goods establishment. Such was the childhood of Smith.
Meanwhile the young ladies sauntered along before or behind, as the case might be in the company of the young business-man and that of another youth who had come out independently on the trolley. They appeared to be suitably accompanied and entertained. But shiftings and readjustments ensued, as they are sure to do with a walking-party.
