"I have great faith in him," she was saying. "He has a wonderful project under way just now." "And he doesn't care who suffers by it," charged Gresham, furious that she should be so well-informed. "You'll see that he'll involve Courtney's property with some of his old debts." Constance's eyes widened. "Do you think so?" she inquired as quietly as possible. "Of course he will.
The countenance of Sir Amyas clouded over, and I saw that I at this moment lost all chance of his future favour. He made me some fine speeches, when I was going away, and dwelt upon his great desire to oblige any friend of Lady Jane Granville's. "A few days afterwards, I saw her ladyship again, and found, by her manner, that she had not been satisfied by Sir Amyas Courtney's report of me.

"I'm not asking for alms, confound you." "By Jove!" exclaimed Ripley, with a gleam of joy in his eyes.

"He's fifteen thousand better off; and I guess he won't forget that in a hurry." "I've forgotten it now," asserted Johnny. "Colonel, I want to talk with you about some stock in a big hotel opposite the new terminal station." "Bless my soul NO!" almost shouted the colonel. "I nearly got tangled up in my friend Courtney's terminal hotel scheme and I'm scared yet." "Courtney?" repeated Johnny.
These troops keep the country quiet, and enable the whole force of the Greek State to act offensively. Thus, assisted by French and Russian money, the Greeks have acquired possession of everything within the Gulfs of Volo and Arta, except the Island of Negropont. September 1, 1829. Read with attention a paper of Courtney's on Leach's observations.
"I have posted Wooding's battery as you ordered, sir, on the brow of the hill commanding the bridge. There's a gun of Courtney's disabled. I have thought he might have the Parrott we captured day before yesterday. Ammunition has been issued as ordered. Caissons all filled." "Good! Captain Boswell Ah, Mr. Hotchkiss."
