That is a contention of yours which does not arouse my interest. I know him very well as a gambler and a drunkard, and if incidentally, he is named Rufus, I fail to see any importance to it." " He is not a gambler and he is not a drunkard," she said. " Um. He drinks heavily-that is well known. He gambles. He plays cards for money more than he possesses-at least he did when he was in college."
The public was used to reckless gambles which paid off, and there had been enough of those in the past to give an impressive argument for that point of view. But Ashe, himself, could not agree to a speed-up. He had been out among the stars, shaved disaster too closely because the proper training had not been given. "I shall report that I advise a take-off within a week," Ruthven was continuing.
The peasant, as often as not, gambles it away or buys fine clothes, a few thrifty ones purchasing an extra cow. No doubt the influence of civilisation, and in particular the long-delayed prosperity of the land which is now slowly raising its head, will alter this. They very rarely quarrel, never brawl, and are hardly ever to be seen in a state of intoxication.
To my certain knowledge he drinks and gambles, and he shall never have my consent to marry Netta so long as I live, and you may tell him so. 'I do not know enough of him, sir, to have any communication of the kind with him, said Mrs Jonathan, stiffly.
"He's a contractor on the canawl, too, Jim is raises race-horses, farms it, gambles a little, but nigger-runnin' is his best game. My skin! Yer comes Captain Van Dorn. I love him as I never loved A male." "Van Dorn," spoke a voice from the house, "remember my family is particular. Your men must go to the barn. Come in!"
Luck, since the beginning of the world, has been the cry of him who gambles with destiny. Work is the watchword of the man who believes in himself. This thing went because that man had been against him, and this went because of the faithlessness of another. His health well, that was God's doing.
What is it that the boomer booms and the land speculator gambles on when he adds acre to acre and lot to lot without any intention of productive use? What, if not the community value which he expects to attach to his land as a result of increase of population?
Every one agrees in saying that he is the type of the honourable player, and that, if he wins on the whole, he owes his winnings to his superior coolness and skill. The fact that he gambles rather lends him an additional interest in the eyes of Beatrice, whose mother often plays and who would like to play herself.
This feller does the selfsame funny business with my samples. He gets orders from a couple of big concerns in St. Louis and then he gambles them away to a feller called Levy. So what do I do, Potash? He goes to work and has 'em both arrested, and then them two fellers turns around and fixes up a story and the first thing you know the police judge lets 'em go.
Johnny, whose sources of information were many and varied, called on a certain Miss Purry the very next morning, taking along Val Russel to introduce him. "Any friend of Mr. Russel's is welcome, I am sure," declared Miss Purry, passing a clammy wedge of a hand to Johnny, who felt the chill in his palm creeping down his spine. "Of the Maryland Gambles?"
