In the sealed enclosure I found that he offered me only one hundred louis d'or, but he undertook, after a period of five years, to give me a half-share in the proceeds, with the alternative of buying out my rights for another hundred louis d'or. With these terms I had to comply, and soon set to work to orchestrate the first act, so as to let the engraver have one batch of sheets at a time.
"What oath can a Jew swear?" she inquired. "You may trust him," replied the marine store-dealer. "He is as honest as I am." "Very well; and you?" asked she, "if I get him to sell them to you, what will you give me?" "Half-share of profits," Remonencq answered briskly. "I would rather have a lump sum," returned La Cibot; "I am not in business myself."
Once, in an uncontrollable fit of madness, she gave her sister Effie a half-share in her garden tools and an interest in a box of mignonette. The poet stayed doggedly on. In the chill of the morning twilight he broke the ice in his water-basin and cursed the girl. But he felt that he had broken the ice and he stayed. On the whole, life at the cottage, though rugged, was not cheerless.
These rents, which were to be collected largely from half-share tenants who had migrated within the preceding three years, undoubtedly now constituted the company's main hope for an immediate revenue.

The Lamp declares that "Jones's tragedy surpasses every work since the days of Him of Avon."

Mr Meagles was at hand the whole time, always ready to illuminate any dim place with the bright little safety-lamp belonging to the scales and scoop. Between them they agreed upon the sum it would be fair to offer for the purchase of a half-share in the business, and then Mr Meagles unsealed a paper in which Daniel Doyce had noted the amount at which he valued it; which was even something less.
In the first place, the half-share is not yours, until the legacies have been paid." "They never can be! I would take Wilmarth's word as soon as yours. There is no use worrying and scrimping and going without everything for the sake of the others." "For shame, Eugene. But fortunately the law has to settle this, not any individual preference. Let us go to Mr. Connery at once."
I presented him with a half-share in my boat, which was the occasion of his often coming down to Hammersmith; and my possession of a half-share in his chambers often took me up to London. We used to walk between the two places at all hours. When I had been in Mr. Pocket's family a month or two, Mr. and Mrs. Camilla turned up. Camilla was Mr. Pocket's sister.
"What oath can a Jew swear?" she inquired. "You may trust him," replied the marine store-dealer. "He is as honest as I am." "Very well; and you?" asked she, "if I get him to sell them to you, what will you give me?" "Half-share of profits," Remonencq answered briskly.

He had been obliged to renew his note for the money borrowed to replace that which had been transferred to Sandy Flash, and in the mean time was concocting an ingenious device by which the loss should not entirely fall on his own half-share of the farm-profits.
