They will die, rather than risk their hateful money. They have the means of saving themselves and us, and they will not. There is weight enough in bullion on the fore part of the raft to hold a dozen floating masses such as this, yet they will not risk it. Cursed love of gold! it makes men fools, madmen, villains. We have now but two days' water doled out as it is drop by drop.
Two and a half million Belgians daily stand in line waiting for food to be doled out to them. The United States must supply three-fourths of the wheat contained in their meagre bread ration. In Italy, too, the condition is serious, for she produces far less than she needs, despite every effort of her Government to stimulate production.
One half of the party address not the other in doled accents of fashionable friendship, in one key, and abuse them piteously in another.
Rassam, though he was kind to them, out of no regard, only because it was part of their instructions, and they could indulge their appetite for spirituous drinks; but had we been, by want of money, reduced to appeal to them, I doubt whether they would have sanctioned for us, to whom they owed so much, even the small pittance daily doled out to the poor Abyssinian prisoners.
I have seen the accounts of 'Jemima's Vow' I saw them this morning and you have already made more than a thousand pounds clear profit on the book. And then, when she comes to ask you for something over the beggarly fifty pounds which you doled out to her, you refuse, and offer her three pounds as her share of the translation rights three pounds as against your eleven!"
And what was the use of £100 a year to him, with living at the price it was now? His wretched pittance besides, doled out to him by his father's trustees under his father's will, brought his whole income up to £300 a year. How was a man to live on that, and support a woman and child? And here was Rachel free bursting with health and possessed of "lots of money."
But how could he buy a carriage and horses, and build fine houses, and yet not be able to pay more than the meagre pittance for his work that the reader has seen doled out to his half-starving workwomen?
I want to see him to prevent him from doing that. I can." "Why should you?" asked Georgiana; and one to whom the faces of the two had been displayed at that moment would have pronounced them a hostile couple. "Why should I prevent him?" Emilia doled out the question slowly, and gave herself no further thought of replying to it.
He had her close in his grip. She must accept whatever he doled out to her and that was the fate of all respectable married women in St. Angé. The late September afternoon held almost summer heat as it flooded St. Angé.
This was taken, and bit by bit Peter doled out another portion of the white cake, venturing at the same time to stroke the animal's trunk. "I'll risk it," he said. "If he tries to knock me over I can easily jump away." But the elephant made no sign of resentment, only transferring the piece of bread and extending his trunk for more. "Here you are," said Peter; "only you can't have any more goes.
