The collections in the three buildings, valued in the hundreds of thousands, in great part were destroyed, few being saved from the ravages of the fire. The destruction of the libraries, with their valuable collections of books, was also a very serious loss to the city and its people.
"I'll go out with the last stage." "And get caught in an avalanche or something!" "I suppose Seth does want to get rid of me!" she said, with a faint laugh. "That's not it at all." "Well, I'm not afraid." "But suppose you stay too late, and get caught. You'd have to remain here all winter. The Park, Huntington says, is as tight as a jail after the snows come."
"A thousand dollars cash!" he repeated. Larkin leaned forward on his horse, and looked at him shrewdly. "Seems to me it's not the horse you're after so much as him," he said, with a grin and a nod toward the road. "That's as may be," retorted Huntington. "Money talks."

I'd like to, but he lives like a hermit. Latchstring never hangs outside his door." There was a certain evidence of feeling in Smythe's speech. "You speak as if you " "As if I knew!"

His earnest, fiery speeches had already made him famous, and when it was known he had enlisted and was raising a company, there was a rush to get into it, and the men as with one voice, demanded that he be their captain.
Berkeley had been killed in the war, and the plantation went, like Elphinstone and most of the other old estates, for debt. And General Huntington purchased it.
