Louis then offered his present a hundred-pound keg of beef and the talking man went outside and informed the populace, in stentorian tones, of the nature and amount of the present received. We ate of pig, fowl, and taro, in civilized fashion, sitting on chairs and using plates, tumblers, spoons, knives, and forks. After a walk about the village we all sat on mats under the eaves and conversed.
Has not many a simple soul examined five new hundred-pound notes in this way, and calculated their powers of duration and multiplication? This subject, however, is too painful to be dwelt on. Let us hear what Walker did with his money.
Now, however, it was put to the test; Galileo released a half-pound weight and a hundred-pound cannon-ball from near the top of the tower, and, needless to say, they reached the ground together. Of course, the spectators were but little pleased with what they saw.
If they made fifty-pound packs, it meant a daily walk of sixteen miles loaded and of fifteen miles light "Because we don't back-trip the last time," Kit explained the pleasant discovery; eighty-pound packs meant nineteen miles travel each day; and hundred-pound packs meant only fifteen miles.

"But we're apt to be careless about hundred-pound notes in this district. I daresay that's why I always carry one." "But it's burnt!" "Only just the edge. Not enough to harm it. If any bank in England refuses it, return it to me and I'll give you a couple more in exchange. Is that talking?" "Well, I'm dashed!" Mr. Bryany attempted to rise, and then subsided back into his chair.
We've lost the game there 's no reckoning the luck. If there's a chance, it's this way. It smells a trick. He and she by all the devils! It has been done in my family might have been done again. Tell the men on the plain they can drive home. There's a hundred-pound weight on your tongue for silence. Cumnock cried: 'But we needn't be parting, Dolf! Stick together.
Thinking, from a depression of spirits which Procter in his young manhood was once laboring under, that perhaps he was in want of money, Lamb looked him earnestly in the face as they were walking one day in the country together, and blurted out, in his stammering way, "My dear boy, I have a hundred-pound note in my desk that I really don't know what to do with: oblige me by taking it and getting the confounded thing out of my keeping."
