I know a marquis who paid eleven duros for two orchestra stalls. This room where we are now sitting was filled, just as it is annually, with flowers and presents; it was impossible to move about in the midst of such a conglomeration of porcelain, books with costly bindings, ebony work-boxes, picture-frames, and no end of other fancy trifles. "The audience room was unusually brilliant.
The duke had paid her a visit in very cold weather, and finding her without a fire, as she was too poor to buy coals, had sent her the next day a silver stove, which he had filled with a hundred thousand pezzos duros in gold, amounting to three hundred thousand francs in French money. Since then Madame Pichona lived at her ease and received good company.
So I, the man of the Old World, gird up my loins, and leave you, with a sigh, to the fresh youth of the New "Ne tibi sit duros acuisse in prcelia dentes." Yours affectionately, Albert Trevanion. So, reader, thou art now at the secret of my heart.
It is a habit he brought with him from Andalusia, where he was bishop before coming here. But nothing common, a fine and refreshing drink, only to keep up his strength, nothing more. And the wine is first class, uncle; I know it from one of his household. He gives as much as fifty duros the arroba!
Of course he realized the tub was broken amidships, the ribs strained, the deck warped and sagging in the middle squeaking like an old guitar every time a sea went under her, ready for breaking up, about. But they hadn't fooled him, they hadn't fooled him! Thirty duros, he had paid, not a cent more. And the firewood in her was worth that much.
It is made of silver, and is so heavy that it requires thirty strong men to lift it. The Archbishop of Toledo has three hundred thousand duros a year, and his clergy have four hundred thousand, amounting to two million francs in French money.
CASERO. Pero repito que no se juega conmigo ... dígaselo usted así, y que si esta noche no me baja los tres duros, mañana pongo a ustedes en la calle con todos sus cachivaches.... DOÑA MATILDE. ¿Tratar de ese modo a una señora? DON EDUARDO. ¡Matilde! ¿Se fué ya? DOÑA MATILDE. Ya se fué. DOÑA MATILDE. Sí, buena es la tranquilidad que vamos disfrutando por cierto.
That soldier there just won six duros." Hearing this, one of the rustics drew near, and seeing that Manuel and El Bizco were winning, he wagered a peseta and won. The fellow's companions advised him to retire with his winnings; but his greed got the best of him and he returned to bet two pesetas, losing them. Then Vidal bet a duro.
While the machinist was alive, the family's economic situation had been relatively comfortable. Alcazar and Petra paid sixteen duros per month for their rooms on Relojo street, and took in boarders: a mail clerk and other railroad employes. Their domestic existence might have been peaceful and pleasureful were it not for the daily altercations between husband and wife.
Because tradesfolk ought to help one another, and if you, let's suppose, do as you say, you prevent somebody else from selling, and that's why Socialism was invented, to favour man's industry." "All right, then. Let them give two duros to man's industry and kill it." The woman spoke very phlegmatically and sententiously.
