I promised to pay you, and will keep my word. I have plenty of money thousands of guilders, and know not what to do with them." "You you thousands of guilders!" exclaimed Poots. "Pooh, nonsense, that won't do." "I repeat to you, Amine," said Philip, "that I have thousands of guilders: you know I would not tell you a falsehood." "I believed you when you said so to my father," replied Amine.
"Aye, like enough. How long did the money last, Hans? I could not hear your mother. What did she say?" "I said, Raff," stammered Dame Brinker in great distress, "that it was all gone." "Well, well, wife, do not fret at that; one thousand guilders is not so very much for ten years and with children to bring up... but it has helped to make you all comfortable. Have you had much sickness to bear?"
"The surveyor, in order to calculate the distances which cannot be measured by the chain, needs a superior telescope, and such a glass would cost two or three thousand guilders more. As your lordship is the owner of a telescope, I take it upon myself to beg the loan of it if your lordship can spare it to the surveyor for a short time."
I have a cottage surrounded, as you may have heard, by many others, which mutually protect each other. That cottage I am about to leave perhaps for ever; for I intend to sail by the first ship to the Indian seas." "The Indian seas! why so? did you not last night talk of thousands of guilders?"

The pastor, in acknowledging the receipt of the money, wrote: "The flood has made a new survey of the lake necessary, as the evil cannot be remedied until it has been determined what obstructs the outlet. Our surveyor made a calculation as to the probable cost of the work, and found that it would require an enormous sum of money almost five thousand guilders! Where was all this money to come from?
One day he was talking over his troubles with his father-confessor, who was one of the few who recognized his genius. The priest determined to assist him and accordingly lent him six hundred guilders, advising him at the same time to demand a better price for his pictures. Wouwerman did so, and in the meantime paid his debts. Matters brightened with him at once.
Philip awoke, and, sitting up, perceived the doctor standing by him. "Well, Mynheer Vanderdecken," commenced the unfeeling little man, "so it's all over. I knew it would be so; and recollect you owe me now another guilder, and you promised faithfully to pay me; altogether, with the potion, it will be three guilders and a half that is, provided you return my phial."
In addition to the sum expended, there was five hundred and fifty-four guilders in the hands of the treasurer, which was to be used for some similar object when presented to them. While Mr. Fluxion was absent at Flushing, Mr. Lowington had gone on board of the Josephine, and, taking Paul into his state-room, had exhibited the fictitious note to him, stating the charge made against him by Mr.
"A few light touches on the strings of a guitar followed, and then a symphony was rapidly and beautifully executed, by one in the adjoining apartment. "Alida, herself, is not more nimble-fingered," whispered the Alderman; "and I never heard the girl touch the Dutch lute, that cost a hundred Holland guilders, with a livelier movement!"
