Myrtle fossilized them as suddenly as if she had been a Gorgon instead of a beauty. The guests in whom we may have some interest were in the mean time making ready for the party, which was expected to be a brilliant one; for 24 Carat Place was well known for the handsome style of its entertainments. Clement Lindsay was a little surprised by his invitation.
That chain is fifteen carat at the most, and there's not a man in this city who would give you more than four dollars for it." "Very well, then!" Hamar said sulkily. "I agree. No! the money first." The Jew dived deep down into his trouser pocket, and, after foraging about for some seconds, produced a handful of greasy coins, out of which he carefully selected the sum named.
Clymer Ketchum, of 24 Carat Place, containing many interesting remarks and inquiries, some of the latter relating to Madam Delacoste's institution for the education of young ladies. While this was going on at Oxbow Village, Myrtle was establishing herself at the rather fashionable school to which Mr. Gridley had recommended her.
Monty handed him a glass of water, and adjusted the bandages with a hand as tender as a woman's. He lifted the instrument again. "You are sterling, twenty-two carat and a yard wide, Captain! Now, get to sleep while I find out who the ring-master is. I've sworn to keep awake until I do. I think it well to telephone Van Cleft, and arrange for a better get-a-way for us both."
The second day after the interview he consulted a friend of his who happened to be a jeweller. From him he ascertained the present market value of twenty-four carat gold. So much for the start!
