Carat, your weights should be diamonds, and then the changes in the weight of the air would not signify one way or the other.

It was thus that she consoled herself in a measure for the business of the occasion in lieu of cracked ice from Tiffany's at one hundred and fifty a carat. Mary gave over the release, and Aggie, still grumbling, deposited it in her handbag. "It seems to me we're going through a lot of red tape," she said spitefully.
Horsfal," he mumbled rather thickly, in a voice that seemed to come from somewhere underground; "didn't know you in the distance." "Jake, shake with Mr. George Bremner; he's going to supervise the place and the new store, same as I explained to you two weeks ago. Hope you make friends. He's to be head boss man, and his word goes; but you'll find him twenty-four carat gold."
And then to lose the guarantee that goes with it! It's past belief!" "It certainly is new," said Ed, critically examining the ring with its sparkling stone. "About a carat and a half, I should say.

"How, then, can your doubts be set at rest?" she demanded. "Easy," he replied: "there are men who understand these things.
Holloway abruptly began, as soon as Howard came up to him: "Howard," said he, "you know this plaguy lottery business but you don't know half yet: here's Carat come to be paid for his tickets; and here's that dunning stage-coachman sticks close to me for his five guineas; and not one farthing have I upon earth."
