Gracie she settled into a little woman all at once, as you may say, and seemed older for a while than she does now. The rest was all married and gone, but one boy, a good boy, too.
It would be comic that there were cases where you wished because there was a cause of wishing, and that there were cases where you wished without any cause. When you wish to be married, you evidently feel the dominating reason; you do not feel it when you are playing at odds and evens; and yet there certainly must be one.

And the price of silver is just half what it was when Old Panamint was on the boom. But that makes no difference, of course?" "Yes, it does," acknowledged Billy whose eyes were gray with rage, "but the flotation process is so much cheaper than milling that it more than evens things up.

But with the cry on his lips, the glance of Cartwright flickered past Sinclair. He grew thoughtful, less flabby.
"I think you're right Dixon. I'll go back and have a good bet down on her at evens." But in five minutes Lucretia's owner was back in the paddock with the cheerful intelligence that the mare was now three to five. "I wouldn't back 'Salvator' among a lot of cart horses at that price," commented Dixon; "leave it alone, an' we'll go for the Stake.

"Do you think that evens John Marcey's death?" she sighed. "As far as Marcey's concerned," he answered. "Laforce has his own reckoning besides." "It was not a murder," she urged.
Sometimes a lucky stroke on the market or an unexpected fee evens things up or sets me a little ahead; but usually January first sees me selling a few bonds to meet an annual deficit.
