"That is item number one," continued Whiteside, ticking the item off on his fingers. "Item number two is Mr. Milburgh, an oleaginous gentleman who has been robbing the firm for years and has been living in style in the country on his ill-earned gains. From what he hears, or knows, he gathers, that the jig is up.
After he had gone, just as Allis was leaving the rail, she was again accosted; this time by Shandy. She trembled an instant, fearing that the small red-lidded ferret eyes would discover her identity. But the boy was too intent on trying to secure his ill-earned five hundred dollars to think of anything else. "Good mornin', boy," he said, cheerily. "I used to be in Dixon's stable.
A peasant sold his last sheep or cow in order to give the money to me. Another portion of my money is the money which I have received for my writings, for my books.

In spite of his change from repression to conciliation, and in spite of dismissing Germain to the House of Lords with an ill-earned peerage, Lord North found his majority dwindling away. At last, on the 20th of March, he resigned. Meanwhile every real statesman in either party had felt that the crisis required the master-hand of Carleton.

By the time they arrived in New York the ivory would have been sold in London and he would be traveling in Europe on his ill-earned gains.

There is murder of wives, or quasi-wives now and then, among the baser sort of Coolies murder because a poor girl will not give her ill-earned gains to the ruffian who considers her as his property.
He shall pay me the five hundred thalers, and then this trader of hearts shall recognize that, however much ill-earned money he may throw away, love and constancy are hot to be bought. We will teach him a lesson," and with this, the old servant ceased, gasping for breath. "Go now, Trude, and learn if he has returned; upon him depends my happiness, and life even he is my last hope!"
