Then would you advise me to try the plan I spoke of?" "If you get a good chance I should say yes." That was on a Wednesday afternoon, and Carl went home, his head filled with a programme he had laid out that concerned the cornering of Dock Phillips. On Thursday he learned, when home for lunch, that a new boy had come for orders from the grocery. Carl was immediately filled with alarm.
The girl laughed again with the satisfaction of her sex in cornering a man. Beaton made a show of not deigning to reply, and put himself in the pose she suggested, frowning. "Ah, that's it. But a little more animation "'As when a great thought strikes along the brain, And flushes all the cheek." She put her forehead down on the back of her hand and laughed again. "You ought to be photographed.
South of the apricot trees, cornering on the wheatfield, was Frank's alfalfa, where myriads of white and yellow butterflies were always fluttering above the purple blossoms. When Emil reached the lower corner by the hedge, Marie was sitting under her white mulberry tree, the pailful of cherries beside her, looking off at the gentle, tireless swelling of the wheat.
"I'll teach that pig a lesson when the game is over," I remarked to my opponent; and, in effect, I had soon put away my cue, and, cornering the porker, fastened a piece of cord to his hind trotter. A large empty biscuit-tin and a bunch of Chinese crackers did the rest the tin being secured to the other end of the line and the crackers nestling snugly inside the tin.
Even vast speculations were opening up for English commercial enterprise, when, by cornering the wool and bribing the King, a ring of merchants were able to break the Italian banking houses, and disorganise the European money market, for on the Continent all this energy in trade was already old. The house of Anjou, for example, had made the kingdom of Naples a great trading centre.
Malcolm smiled, in his languid fashion. If he suspected sarcasm in the first part of the captain's reply, it did not trouble him. His self-sufficiency was proof against anything of that sort. "Business," he repeated. "Well, that's what I'm here for. Thinking of cornering the er potato market, were you?" "No-o.
He passed into a rapt dream, from which escaped such fragments as: "Fifty per cent. advance sir; security to-morrow. Zzzz." The idea of cornering a drug struck upon my mind then as a sort of irresponsible monkey trick that no one would ever be permitted to do in reality. It was the sort of nonsense one would talk to make Ewart laugh and set him going on to still odder possibilities.
Above was visible conflict and destruction; below something was happening far more deadly and incurable to the flimsy fabric of finance and commercialism in which men had so blindly put their trust. As the airships fought above, the visible gold supply of the world vanished below. An epidemic of private cornering and universal distrust swept the world.
He was fairly launched. "It's the blind folly of it! In the days before the war it was different. Then there was abundance. A little grabbing or cornering was all to the good. All to the good. It prevented things being used up too fast. And the world was running by habit; the inertia was tremendous. You could take all sorts of liberties. But all this is altered. We're living in a different world.
"And so you saved my life," he said in a quiet tone. "I had to," she said faintly. Archie here reappeared with a glass of water. "The fellow is in a fit," he reported. "They are taking him away. Jove, Wingarde! You ought to be a dead man. If Nina hadn't spoilt that shot " Nina was shuddering, and he broke off. "You'd better give up cornering gold fields," he said lightly.
