Still, I own that the ransom of half-a-million for a city like Cadiz seems to me to be very moderate, and the tranquillity that already prevails in the town is beyond all praise. Would that such had been the behaviour of my countrymen in the Netherlands!" Don Mendez spoke in a tone of deep depression.
We should have no iron bridges built, or Atlantic cables laid, or financial companies started, and we certainly should not have any man-killing machines a million or half-a-million strong; whereas every well-conducted person knows that such things are now-a-days absolutely necessary.
It will not be many years before it reaches half-a-million, and may fairly be ranked among the great cities of the world. Of course Joe's first visit was to his old place of business. He received a hearty greeting from Watson, his deputy. "I am glad to see you, Joe," said he, grasping our hero's hand cordially. "When did you arrive?" "Ten minutes ago. I have made you the first call."
The budget of public works is devoted to the repair of churches, and the building of basilicas. Nearly half-a-million sterling has already been sunk in the erection of a very grey and very ugly edifice on the Ostia road. As much more will be required to finish it, and the commerce of the country will be none the better. Half a million sterling!
At last the Samaritans betrayed our people: our last remaining fortified city, Bethar, fell, and Bar Cochba died in defending it on 9th of Ab, 135 C.E. "'The Jews were the last people under Roman rule in those days to fight for freedom, and over half-a-million of them lost their lives in this long struggle.

There you are, sir! That's what I fancy I see at the back of their heads, and I'm sure I'm right." "I believe you are, Caw!" cried Marjorie. "What do you say, father?"
If it is not checked if anarchists, young and old, are not taught that they must obey or suffer there is nothing ahead but tumult, heart-burning, and wreck. March, 1889. There has been much talk about the insensate youth who boasted that he had squandered half-a-million on the Turf in a year.
"That's the horror of it that the world isn't a dull place or a sensational place or a nasty place and those papers make me feel it is all three!" "I'm sorry you are so low about it," said Barthrop. "Yes, because journalism ought to be the finest thing in the world," said Father Payne. "Just imagine! The power of talking, without any of the inconveniences of personality, to half-a-million people."
"Nearly half-a-million, perhaps; at least they pretend that they can put sixty thousand men under arms." "And did they treat you badly when you first visited them?" "Not at first. They received us civilly enough; and on a given day we were requested to explain to the king and the Council of Wizards the religion which we came to teach.
"Depend on it," whispered he to Spendquick, "depend on it the man is the X. Y. of the 'Times' who offers to lend any sum of money from L10 to half-a-million. He's the man who has all your bills; Levy is only his jackal." "'Pon my soul," said Spendquick, rather alarmed, "if that's the case, one may as well be civil to him." "You, certainly," said the wit.
