"Ow," commented Eugene, and fell into a study so deep that Courtney was able to escape without being missed. In the library, where he went to ring for a servant, he found Constance Joy looking gloomily out of a window, with a magazine upside down in her hands. She immediately rose. "Don't let me disturb you," begged Courtney as he rang the bell. "Do you know where I can find Johnny Gamble?"
Constance looked about just then in search of Polly, and her eyes lighted as they saw Johnny standing with her. "Oh, Polly!" she called. "Coming, Constance!" returned the hearty and cheery voice of Polly from just behind the critics. The ladies in lavender and orange were still gasping when Johnny Gamble passed them with Polly. He had made up his mind about the river-front property.
"Indeed!" "He was a strange man a very strange man." "Did he gamble?" "It is difficult to give you a correct and direct answer. I should say he did, and yet he never lost or won much; but I have often thought he was more connected with those who did than was believed." "Was that a fact?" inquired Mr. Chillingworth. "You shall see as we go on, and be able to judge for yourself.
The guide had rather sullenly washed off the wet dust that clung to his face and hands. "Never mind the clothes, Juan," advised Ned. "It'll brush off as soon as it gets dry. We'll take up a contribution to buy you a clothes brush. Ever see one?" Juan grinned. "You promise not to gamble the money away if we give it to you?" "Si." "Shell out, fellows. Ten cents apiece.
"I wish this would let up," he said, after a time, pausing in his walk, and looking again at the window. "It's a wonder we're getting things done at all." Hilda's eye, roaming over the folded newspaper, fell on the weather forecast. "Fair to-morrow," she said, "and colder." "That doesn't stand for much. They said the same thing yesterday. It's a worse gamble than wheat."
"It is probable that you will be put to some inconvenience. I can only regret that this denouement did not come some months ago. You are likely to suffer more than I, because I do not care what the world thinks of me. Therefore you may tell the world what you choose about me that I drink, that I gamble, that I am lacking in honour! Anything that suggests itself to you, in fact.
Blue Bonnet ran after her and brought her to a standstill. "Sue! tell me. What is it?" "That's it, of course. Why not?" "The Ancient Order of Lambs! Really?" "Really. "We amble and we gamble, We frolic and we bleat; Something new in lambkins Rather hard to beat!" "Dear me, is that from Angela's pen?" "Angela! Mercy, I should hope not! Angela doesn't write doggerel she writes verse."
General Curtis, commander of the military district comprising Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas, was at the head of one faction, while Governor Gamble led the other. Their differences were a source of great embarrassment to the Government at Washington, and of harm to the Union cause.
"I shall buy that farm for my mother I shall put Georgine into a convent for the nobility, and arrange a large dot for her and for me? I shall gamble in a controlled way at Monte Carlo ." "You won't marry then, Suzette?" "Marry!" she laughed a shrill laugh "For why, Nicholas?
And what I desire to impress upon you, and through you upon this country, is that the casual unskilled labourer who is habitually under-employed, who is lucky to get three, or at the outside four, days' work in the week, who may often be out of a job for three or four weeks at a time, who in bad times goes under altogether, and who in good times has no hope of security and no incentive to thrift, whose whole life and the lives of his wife and children are embarked in a sort of blind, desperate, fatalistic gamble with circumstances beyond his comprehension or control, that this poor man, this terrible and pathetic figure, is not as a class the result of accident or chance, is not casual because he wishes to be casual, is not casual as the consequence of some temporary disturbance soon put right.
