I'm sorry I took your gun didn't know it was one you particularly valued. I'd get one of my own only I'm so beastly hard up. I suppose you couldn't lend me a fiver now, could you?" He tucked his hand back into Mordaunt's arm persuasively, and smiled his winning smile. "I'll pay you back with interest when I come of age. That'll be in five years. I wouldn't ask you if I couldn't.
"Dead spit of my poor old Monkey," remarked Thompson sadly, as he caressed the dog. "Never felt the thing that's on me more distinctly than when I lost poor Monkey." "Well, I offered you a fiver for him," rejoined Donovan. "Never know'd a man to have luck with a thing that he'd refused a good bid for. Picked up a bait, I s'pose?" "Monkey would never have stayed with you," replied Thompson.
Jackson was there, and he introduced me to you after the performance." "No, I'm sure he didn't." "I beg your pardon, Miss Slater. Don't you remember when Peggy Praed got on the table and made a speech?" "No, I don't; you saw me on the stage and you paid your money for that. What more do you want?" "I assure you " "Well, that's all right, now's your chance to lend me a fiver."
This was what he said to himself as he crossed the floor. People seemed to make a lane for him, divining his incredible intention. If he had not started at once, if his legs had not started of themselves, he would never have started; and, not being in command of a fiver, he would afterwards have cut a preposterous figure in the group.
"Well, you aren't far wrong. You'll take a small profit, I suppose? Shall I use my discretion?" "No," smiled Quisanté. "I shan't take a small profit, and I'll use mine. But keep me well informed and you shan't be a loser." Mr. Mandeville laughed. "One might think you had a million," he observed. "Or are you proposing to tip me a fiver?"
All I got to do is to think of you and those big black eyes of yours shining, and I could lead a water-wagon parade." "It's the habits, Blink, you got to watch most. For a minute to-night you looked like coke and and it scared me. Don't let the coke get you, Blink. For God's sake, don't!" "I sent her a fiver, Marj, and a black silk, and a doll with real hair for the kid.
And when we were out in the main street again on our way back to the office he turned to me with a look of decision. "I've come to a definite theory about this affair, Hugh," he said. "And I'll lay a fiver to a farthing that it's the right one!" "Yes, Mr. Lindsey?" said I, keenly interested at hearing that. "Crone knew who killed Phillips," he said.
Have a fiver each way on 'pleased'! No, I'm not exactly leaping with joy." "Then, what the devil is it all about? What do you mean? What's the idea? If you don't want to marry Miss McEachern, why did you propose to her?" Lord Dreever closed his eyes. "Dear old boy, don't! It's my uncle." "Your uncle?" "Didn't I explain it all to you about him wanting me to marry? You know!
"Never mind this time, but you'd better look a little sharper, my boy. There's the Brummagem Cup next week, you know, and we shall want to know the latest scratches on the night before. It'll be worth a fiver to you if you work it well, Durfy. Fill up your glass."
'I know that horse; he's got a mouth like iron. I might be at the bottom of the cliff on Crown Ridge road in twenty minutes with my head caved in, and then what chance for the quids? 'You wouldn't want 'em then, suggested a passenger. 'Or, say! we'd leave the fiver with the publican to bury you. Flash Jack ignored that passenger. He eyed his boots and softly whistled a tune.
