Sure, three times five's fifteen; fifteen hundred down, or he does not get my signature to those leases for his brother, nor get the agency of the Colambre estate. Colambre, what more have you to tell of him? for, since he is making out his accounts against me, it is no harm to have a PER CONTRA against him that may ease my balance. 'Very fair! very fair! said Sir Terence.
Five's shout went up at the instant, loud, confident, almost boastful, as though in rebuke of Four's timidity, and, as Truman half expected, there was the corporal of the guard leaning on his rifle, close to the veranda steps, and so absorbed he never heard the officer approach until the lieutenant sharply hailed: "Who's that on No. 4?"
The nearest approach to the correct answer was Number Five's guess of Oh and Ah: Oh signifying eternal striving after an ideal, which belongs to one kind of nature; and Ah the satisfaction of the other kind of nature, which rests at ease in what it has attained. Good! I said to Number Five, but not the answer I am after. The great division between human beings is into the Ifs and the Ases.
I have said that I cannot tell whether the Counsellor is to be counted as one of Number Five's lambs or not, but he evidently admires her, and if he is not fascinated, looks as if he were very near that condition. It was a more delicate matter about which the Tutor talked with her.
If he saw Number Five's tear, he will certainly fall in love with her. No matter if he does Number Five is a kind of Circe who does not turn the victims of her enchantment into swine, but into lambs.

"I know," explained Chester. "I think it best that no one but you should hear anything of the matter for the present until I have investigated further. It was nearly half-past three this morning as I got around here on Five's post, inspecting sentinels, and came suddenly in the darkness upon a man carrying a ladder on his shoulder. I ordered him to halt.
"And if you got pinched, first thing you'd sing out 'Fadeaway, and then me for over the road, eh?" "Honest, Fade. I'll swear that I won't give you away, even if I get caught. Here's my hand on it." "Give me nine hundred and I'll go you," said Fadeaway, shaking hands with his companion. Corliss hesitated. Was the risk worth but half the money involved? "Five's a whole lot, Fade."
