That was all "according to contract;" but Dick did not come in for his dinner until the rest had eaten theirs; and then he barely had time to say to Dab Kinzer, "Did you ebber shell corn?" "Course I have. Why?" "'Cause dar's a bigger heap ob corn out in de barn dan you ebber see." "Bigger'n Ham's?" "Well, no, not so big as his'n, mebbe; but dar's more ob it. I's got it to shell."
"Yes," said Carrie, "I really think I do mean this." "I didn't know if it was rashness or common bluff." Jake grinned rather awkwardly and Jim colored, but Carrie fixed her eyes on the surveyor. "It was all bluff from the beginning. We hadn't the money we needed when we took the contract, and since then we have never had proper tools and help enough."
Elizabeth to learn that she had been dallied with in such fashion, as a gay courtier might trifle with a country wench we should then see, to our ruin, FURENS QUID FAEMINA!" He would then pause, and call for Varney, whose advice was now more frequently resorted to than ever, because the Earl remembered the remonstrances which he had made against his secret contract.

Come and stay at my place."
The French Emperor allowed Confederate agents to contract for the construction of war vessels in French ports, and sent an army into Mexico to overturn that republic and establish an empire. Mexico owed the subjects of Great Britain, France, and Spain large sums of money, and as she would not pay, these three powers in 1861 sent a combined army to hold her seaports till the debts were paid.
"You have, however, gained twenty thousand on the contract I enabled you to make with Grindot, who thought he was serving the notary, and you own a piece of property which in five years will be worth nearly a million. It is what is called a 'boulevard corner." Brigitte listened uneasily, precisely like a cat which hears a mouse within the wall.
A constitution is in the nature of an agreement between a whole community or body politic and each of its members. This agreement or contract implies, that each one binds himself to the whole, and the whole bind themselves to each one, that all shall be governed by certain laws and regulations for the common good.
