"When did you feel him getting away from you?" "At the wall," says Hortense. The lieutenant vaulted to his saddle. "Here, fellow!" He had tossed me a gold-piece. They were off. I lifted the coin, balanced it on my thumb, and flipped it ringing against the wall. When I looked up, Hortense was laughing back over her shoulder.
"Aunt Fanny, when I write home, will you write a line in my letter and say that you will see that nothing happens to Pixy?" "Certainly, I will say that we will take the best care of him that we can." "Oh, yes, Pixy will be all right, but my beautiful, bright gold-piece which " "Have you begun to sing that old song again?" exclaimed Franz.
The doctor, however, had not yet returned from his hospital. Wilhelm soon found the inmates of his friend's household, an old Indian man-servant and a housekeeper, also an Indian of about thirty-five, with a yellow face already wrinkled and withered, large dark eyes, and a gold-piece hanging from her nostrils.
Before I had settled this question, which occupied me so fully that I forgot other and more serious difficulties, the omnibus drove into a station-yard, and every passenger, inside and out, prepared to alight. I lingered till the last, and sat still till I had unfastened my gold-piece. The wind drove across the open space in a strong gust as I stepped down upon the pavement.
"How much do you get a week!" asked Sarah. "Four bits." "That's about two dollars a month. In two months the Conants will move back to the city, and by then you'll have earned four dollars. Why, Bub, it's cheaper for you to take this five-dollar gold-piece and get fired, than to work for two months for four dollars." Bub scratched his head in perplexity.
Nobody, I should say, but the Prince; for after the Prince had finished his business with Hans's uncle, he smiled at Hans and asked his name and how old he was. Hans was very proud to say that he was five years old that very day; and when the Prince heard this he took a gold-piece from his purse and gave it to Hans. "This is for a birthday present," he said, "and you must buy what you want most."
"Oh, Aunt Fanny," he said, "if I only knew that Pixy was in the asylum or some other safe place, and not wandering the streets, hungry and looking for me, I would not feel so badly! but I am afraid the street boys will throw stones at him and he will run away and never come back." "If your gold-piece that you gave up as lost was found, so Pixy may be.
"Agreed!" said the three in a breath, and, rising to their feet, they held out their hands. Paul and Franz gave out their share immediately, but Fritz fingered so long that the gold-piece fell out, and was seen by the three pairs of eyes. Fritz picked it up quickly and replaced it in his purse, and the three nickels were in the grimy hands of the strangers, who set out for the village.
Steiner, and each vied with the others to describe what they had seen. Fritz contributed his share of it by telling of his wish that he could find a gold-piece on the street, and what Uncle Braun said in regard to it, ending with "Oh, my new, bright, gold-piece with the " "Oh, dear, are we again to hear that cry?" grumbled Franz. "You are like Hannibal weeping upon the ruins of Carthage."
They have found the thief and may find the dog." "Oh, Fritz, have you really got your gold-piece?" they asked in a breath. "Yes, and my pocketbook, but they are no pleasure to me now that I have lost Pixy, and I am the only one to blame.
