If Ah dond't haf dem here, it is small sail ve can carry on de sheep." "Och, now, ye just say that, Schenke, ye just say that! But it's glad I am if we're any use t' ye." "Hundert days to Falmouth, eh?" Schenke grinned as he said it. "Vat 'bout dot bett now, Cabtin?" "Oh that," said Burke queerly. "You win, of course. I'm not quite broke yet, Captain Schenke.
Tam you, you are ashleep!" he cried. "A hundert franc if you catch up dat chaise." At the words "A hundred francs," the coachman woke up. The servant behind heard them, no doubt, in his dreams.
"My cashier lives at de corner of Rue des Mathurins and Rue de l'Arcate. Here is ein vort for dat he shall go to du Tillet or to de Kellers, in case ve shall not hafe a hundert tousant franc for our cash shall be at de Bank. Get dress', my anchel," he said to Esther. "You are at liberty. An' old vomans," he went on, looking at Asie, "are more dangerous as young vomans."
"You would cheapen a gold mine!" said Louchard, bowing and leaving. "I shall get dat address for five hundert franc!" cried the Baron, who desired his servant to send his secretary to him. Turcaret is no more.
She is better as a hundert ladies she is joost a plain vomans who keeps a express office over dere Cleary's Express. You don't know it? Vell, dot's your fault. Dot's her boy Bobby outside de door.

The man looked alarmed, and began a speech: "Sare, I cannot let dem go vidout" but a bright thought struck me, and I interrupted "Sir! don't sir me. Take off the boots, fellow, and, hark ye, when you speak to a nobleman, don't say Sir." "A hundert tousand pardons, my lort," says he: "if I had known you were a lort, I vood never have called you Sir. Vat name shall I put down in my books?"

"Very good, you give me the thousand francs I have had and you will add five hundred francs." "Yust so," said Nucingen, nodding. "But that still leaves only five hundred francs," said Contenson imperturbably. "Dat I gif," added the Baron. "That I take.
