Then, in great excitement, we finished our toilets and hurried back to the school, where, naturally, the news of the coming contest spread like wildfire and caused a great commotion. The school divided itself forthwith into two factions, calling themselves the "fivers" and "sixers."
And Gregor saying he thought we could patch the plate up enough to get by with gives me a pain he's got jingles in his dome factory! Run them fivers eh say, are you cracked, too?" "Aw, forget it!" observed Malone caustically. "Who's running this gang?" Then, with a malicious grin: "I got a customer for those fivers fifteen thousand dollars for all we can turn out to-night. See?"
"Did you get the money?" were his first words, which I thought very characteristic. "Yes, there it is, squire ten fivers and your own note." "Very good; I should never have seen a shilling of it but for you and Charley, so we will just divide it into three shares." The farmer said, "No," but eventually took his L16 13s. 4d., and quite right too.
"All deuced fine," he went on, "I'll bet you a fiver you don't know who he was either!" I kicked at him under the seat of the carriage, but it was of no use, he persisted in his reckless offers of "laying fivers," and our united ignorance stood fatally revealed.
AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. I see I'll have to ask Samsón Sílych for a couple of fivers for you. USTÍNYA NAÚMOVNA. That's all right, my jewel, I don't mind! And he has peasants, wears a norder on his neck; and as for intellect, why, he's simply a bonanza. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. Then, Ustinya Naúmovna, you ought to have informed him that our daughter hasn't got piles of money.
"Tell him what we're driving at. Get it into his head somehow," said Moorshed; and Pyecroft, snatching the cup from me, enfolded the old man with an arm and a mist of wonderful words. "And if you pull it off," said Moorshed at the last, "I'll give you a fiver." "Lard! What's fivers to me, young man?
"My dust!" gasped Draycott. "My fivers, by golly!" ejaculated the bookmaker, initiating a plunge among the spoil. "My Japanese bonds, coupons and all, and yes, even the manuscript of my work on 'Polyphyletic Bridal Customs among the mid-Pleistocene Cave Men. Hah!"
A larger reinforcement which they had reckoned upon, was detained by the floods and frosts, which, for the moment, had made the roads and fivers alike impracticable.
If Rose Euclid were to go around and about the Five Towns trying to do the siren business, she would pretty soon discover that she was up against something rather special in the way of human nature! Marrier could not at that moment produce even ten pounds between them!... And Marrier offering to lay fivers!... He scornfully pitied them.
"Well, I'm only askin' a fiver for meself out've him, boss; so I'll take twenty down." "You will, eh? Why, what a generous son of a gun you are, Sam! I should've thought twenty would've given you three fivers profit." "What, an' him the only Irish Wolf in all the world, boss! Why he'll be the draw of the show inside of a week. See him jump, now! Look at the devil! Strike me!
