Conversation lagged for a moment, according to a "Life" story, then, as he sipped his tea, he remarked quietly, but with a meaning emphasis, "You are to be married." "Mercy me!
To him it was a fight by the demagogues against property interests, and he was with property, even a little property even a miserable little dribble of property like half a million dollars' worth of waterworks bonds. And Robert Hendricks playfellow of John Barclay's boyhood, partner of his youth sat working throughout the night, a brave man, going into battle without a tremor.
Candles ere long were the equivalent of dollars, and pans were cheap at five dollars each. Still San Francisco waited, though a constant dribble of departures made at last perceptible inroads on its population. Then, one May afternoon, the fat was in the fire.

They will strike root in the leak of a flume, or the dribble of an overfull bank, coaxing the water beyond its appointed bounds.
