Me go now." Mr. Tretherick violently suggested a profane locality. Ah Fe gazed at him placidly, and withdrew. Before leaving Fiddletown, however, he accidentally met Col. Starbottle, and dropped a few incoherent phrases which apparently interested that gentleman. When he concluded, the colonel handed him a letter and a twenty-dollar gold-piece.
And now let us shake hands in farewell, and may you have a pleasant visit to Frankfort!" The boy left the office in splendid spirits, for he felt richer than when he first owned the pocketbook and the gold-piece, for he had it again, when he thought it was gone forever. The policeman took him in sight of number 37, and he ran the rest of the way alone. He saw his aunt on the porch waiting for him.
Your gold-piece is safe and one of the dollars. He used the other and the small change for his refreshments. Here, take your pocketbook, and I wish to say that there are not many grown people who could observe and describe so well the thief who robbed them." "I will not trust anybody again as I did that smooth-talking stranger. I will be on the lookout all the time for thieves."
He had been examining the gold-piece at close range. "Do! Well, I reckon they'll do. By Jiminy! and ter think you've had this up yer sleeve all this time! Well, I'll believe anythin' of yer now anythin'! You can't stump me with nuthin'! Come on." And he hurriedly led the way toward the house.
"Say, if there are many more like that down at the foot of the shaft this old hole-in-the-ridge will be a producer before another week is out!" answered one of the workmen. "How much is it worth, boss?" "Allowing for the quartz that streaks this little gold-piece, it ought to be worth from forty to fifty dollars," Tom responded thoughtfully.
"You'll shiver better without that shawl!" she said, brutally setting the scene for the worshippers' charity. "Jacques and I," she continued, "are going to get a little drink to warm our frozen bodies. "Guard her there, you good-for-nothing Pierre, or I'll break every bone of your body!" They departed to spend the Doctor's gold-piece. Pierre tried vainly to comfort the girl.
"Your agents are clever fellows. What did you find in the memorandum-book? Love letters and unpaid bills, I suppose?" "No, sire, I found in it an important document; an agreement, by virtue of which the lady is to pay the major, in case he should obtain for her an interview with your majesty, a gold-piece for every minute of its duration." Napoleon laughed.
"Aunt Fanny, dear Aunt Fanny, I have my gold-piece and my pocketbook," and he held it up in glee. "Oh, my boy, had we Pixy back, that would be a greater joy," said Mrs. Steiner. "My Pixy!" cried the boy. "Isn't he in the house?" "No, my poor boy, and I have no idea where he is. After you left, the affectionate creature was so lost without you that I could not quiet his restlessness.
With that sage exclamation, he headed into the Browny days and breasted them; and he had about him the living foamy sparkle of the very time, until the Countess of Ormont breathed the word "Schoolmaster"; when, at once, it was dusty land where buoyant waters had been, and the armies of the facts, in uniform drab, with some feathers and laces, and a significant surpliced figure, decorously covering the wildest of Cupids, marched the standard of the winking gold-piece, which is their nourishing sun and eclipser of all suns that foster dreams.
Son, I'm goin' to be your business manager. If we can't make a twenty-dollar gold-piece a night say, son, we're goin' to move into better quarters. An' the old gent up at the Hotel de Bronx is goin' to move into an outside room. An' Kwaque's goin' to get a real outfit of clothes.
