Strangers go there, and the German visitors even drink the exceptionable beer which is sold in the wooden cottage on the little hillock at the end of the Gardens. There is also a stable where are the only horses in Venice. They are let at a florin an hour, and I do not know why the riders are always persons of the Hebrew faith.
Before that moment arrived, the more agile of the two plaintiffs, Adolf, succeeded in eluding surveillance and escaping from the camp at Wailly. He made his way successfully to Namur disguised as a Franciscan monk. Then, at the ferry, he gave a florin when a penny would have sufficed.
After some desultory conversation in low tones, during which Macgregor writhed with frequently averted gaze, the young man chose a sixpenny one and put down a florin, regretfully remarking that he had to catch a confounded train. With a delicious smile Christina handed him his change, and with a graceful salute he fled without counting it.
In it you may read as follows: "Master Gebhart, of Antwerp, has a daughter seventeen years old, and she has illuminated the head of a Saviour for which I gave a florin. It is a marvel that a woman could do so much."
We will indeed look on and let these people skin, pinch, and hoard, but we will trust in God who will, however, do this of His own accord, that, after you have been skinning and scraping for a long time, He will pronounce such a blessing on your gains that your grain in the garner, your beer in the cellar, your cattle in the stalls shall perish; yea, where you have cheated and overcharged any one to the amount of a florin, your entire pile shall be consumed with rust, so that you shall never enjoy it.
I never could have been one if I had mugged forever." "My being a fellow of a college won't do me much good. Did you see that old man Proctor go by just now?" "Oh yes; he never likes to be out after a certain hour." "And did you see Florin, and Mr. Harkaway, and a lot of others? You yourself have been going on ahead for the last hour without speaking to me."
You, who have so often staked your life and welfare for a florin you now hold the whole future in your hands! You must endure, calmly and prudently! And you will never be forgotten, so long as there are workers on the earth! This winter will be the last through which we shall have to endure for yonder lies the land toward which we have been wandering! Comrades! Through us the day shall come!"
But as I was passing the Railway Inn, I says to myself, `I'll just step in and have a pint; but I wouldn't take the bag in with me, as perhaps some one or other might be axing me questions about it, and it weren't no business of theirs, so I just sets it down on the step outside, and goes in and changes my florin and gets my pint of ale.
The kapala, always alive to the value of money, set the example by consenting to pose with his family for a consideration of one florin to each. But the risks incurred, of the usual kinds hitherto described, were believed to be so great that even the sum of ten florins was asked as reward in the case of a single man.
There was as much screaming and rejoicing as if every butter-cup in the grass had been changed into a gold florin. But to-day holy Florian this is a rain!" "It will do the things up there good," exclaimed the baron. "The tinder grows damp in such a torrent, or I'd take out my pistols and shoot the shabby liberty hat and motley tatters off the tree."
