Stage driving in Arizona in the pioneer days was a dangerous, difficult, and consequently high-priced job. The Indians were responsible for this in the main, although white highwaymen became somewhat numerous later on. Sometimes there would be a raid, the driver would be killed, and the stage would not depart again for some days, the company being unable to find a man to take the reins.
Here at last, so we thought, was a haven of refuge from jewelry intruders, but, alas! we were no sooner located than they appeared, not the impecunious class, but dealers with shops and a bank account, bringing with them a vast array of really beautiful gems, which were tempting but high-priced.
An Italian, now dead, but in his day the most high-priced singing-teacher in London, used to devote the greater part of his lesson periods to telling his pupils how fond certain members of the English Royal family were of him and to pointing out the souvenirs of their favor which he had displayed in his studio.
She was still accepting a position in this grocery, but of course had changed to a much smaller furnished room where she could be cozy and feed herself from a gas stove on the simple plain foods that one just can't seem to get at high-priced restaurants.

High-priced horticultural experts had been consulted as to the best means of thickening the vegetation and screening the approaches to the house. They had met with scanty success. The soil was of the most sterile, intractable rock; those few wind-blown olives were dreadfully diaphanous, and Peter's blouse visible from afar even from the market-place. Everything got about on Nepenthe.
On his were charged clothing for himself, mother, brothers and employes, common groceries, etc.; while on mine were entered all my clothing, all high-priced tea, white sugar, etc., all tableware, fine cutlery, table linen, bedding, curtains and towels; on his were, credits for farm products; on mine, only cash; and he was credited with butter and eggs on the same day that I was charged with bed-ticking and towels.
He had never before heard of a dinner being worth so much money. "Oh! it's all right," said Joe. "This is rather a high-priced hotel; but they get up everything in first-class style, do you see? "If in style you drink and eat, Lofty bills you'll have to meet." "But I ain't got that much money," said Ralph, unstrapping his wallet. "How much have ye got?" inquired the bar-tender.
