They did not dicker over details nor haggle about terms, but consented to put up the phonograph again, and all the money at their disposal as well. The cook was in training. Of all the denizens of the Flying Heart but two failed to enter fully into the spirit of the thing. Berkeley Fresno looked on with a cynicism which he was too wise to display before Miss Blake.
He who went forth to seek eternal life is now in danger of losing mortal life. In terror of death, cold sweat on his brow, he began to haggle for his life with the desert king. He not only offered all that he had with him.
"It is not for me, nor for any man who bears my name, to chaffer and to haggle. You know the worth of these things, for it is your trade to do so. The Lady Ermyntrude lacks money, and we must have it against the King's coming, so give me that which is right and just, and we will say no more." The goldsmith smiled. The business was growing more simple and more profitable.
In another year you wouldn't know it." "I sha'n't haggle," said Alston. "I'll tell you precisely what I'll put into your hand with conditions if you agree to make this your farewell appearance.

Up the main way passed a line of braves, each laden with his winter's catch of furs, to barter at the trading-room, haggle with the clerks by sign and pantomime, and pass down again with gun and hatchet and axe, kettle and bright blanket, beads, and, most eagerly sought of all, yards of crimson cloth. There was babble of chatter among the squaws, shrill laughter, and comparison of purchases.
It is worthy of the huckster who sought to haggle with us about our share, and to beat us down after the articles pledging you were already signed. If I am wrong let M. de Cussy say so. If I am wrong, let me be proven wrong, and I will beg your pardon. Meanwhile, monsieur, I withdraw from this council. I will have no further part in your deliberations.
Why, as a monopoly price, seven or eight pounds a week isn't enough. We must make it ten or, say, a hundred for the whole job." "No, no; seven pounds a week!" cried the duke hastily. The Honourable John Ruffin looked at him with an air of considerable disapproval, almost contemptuous, and said coldly: "Well, you can't expect me to haggle seven let it be."
He had no prospect of any until Aunt Ollie died and left him her farm. He was, as he expressed it, "up against it" there. Now he was "up against it" with Kate. What she decided upon and proposed to do was all he could do. She might shave prices, and cut, and skimp, and haggle to buy material, and put up her building at the least possible expense.
