A squinting eye is a treasure to a boxer, a left-handed batter is a prize in a cricketing eleven, and one of the best gymnasts in Chicago is an individual with a wooden leg, which he takes off at the commencement of affairs, thus economizing weight and stowage, and performing achievements impossible except to unipeds.
No, the years until Gilbert was able to help, or Nancy old enough to use her talents, or the years before the money invested with Allan would bring dividends, those must be years of self-sacrifice on everybody's part; and more even than that, they must be fruitful years, in which not mere saving and economizing, but earning, would be necessary. It was only lately that Mrs.
"And, if old Mrs. Brand were to go away, I suppose her sons would be received everywhere?" "Oh, I suppose so. The property is fairly good, is it not, Reginald?" "Not very," said Mr. Adair. "The father squandered a good deal, and I fancy the present owner is economizing for the sake of his boy." "His boy?" A faint color stole into Margaret's cheeks. "Is he married, papa?"

So I am economizing. Mr. Lockhart's Coffee Rooms and I are no longer strangers." Miss Cavendish put down her cup of tea untasted and leaned toward him "Are you in earnest?" she asked. "For how long?"
Can you imagine me in such a dream? I can't. But it suits me, rather. I wore pink shoes and stockings and gloves, all of the same shade, and poor Emily in gray silk, with her hair done in an aggressively virtuous way, looked like a cross between an Anglican nun and a tourist economizing luggage.
