He had made a dozen trips inside the solar system, but no matter how often he did it, there was the strange excitement, the little pinpoint of fear, like an exotic taste, that was almost pleasant. The door opened and Bart grabbed a fistful of bed-ticking as two Lhari came into the room.
But the last time and hard to believe 'twas little more than a month ago he halts on his way out, and says he, searchin' awkward-like in his breeches' pocket with his left hand, 'Ned, says he, 'my old friend' aye, sir, his old friend he called me 'Ned, says he, pullin' out a fistful o' gold, 'my old friend, says he, 'I'll compound with you for two guineas, this bein' the last time you may hold the door open for me, in or out.
It was not often that each man and each abandoned woman present knew to a certainty that he or she would go home through the mists of the gray morning with a fistful of gold that had been won without labour or the taking of any personal risk; and to-night the half of four hundred thousand francs was to be divided among them.
But I have not led an exemplary life to any such extent. I have not led a life that might be called pedagogic, because it is fitted to serve as a model, nor a life that might be called anti-pedagogic, because it would serve as a warning.

I shall rush round to all the usurers I know.... No, of course, you can't! Don't look at me like that. What shall I do? No use asking the old man. I tell you he's given me a fistful of big notes three days ago.

"No; not exactly as a possibility, son; that isn't quite the word. We'll call it a sure thing, if you want it. It's this way: we're needing a sort of political house-cleaning right bad this year. We have good enough laws, but they're winked at any day in the week when somebody comes along with a fistful of yellow-backs.
I was intently looking ahead, when on a sudden Sultan swerved so powerfully that I rocked in the saddle. I wouldn't have touched him with the spur, short of utter necessity, for a fistful of guineas, and I soothed him, and then turned to look for what had upset him. To be candid I swerved myself.
