"Oh, dear father, do not hope so; and do not think of troubles more than sins; there is no deliverance in Mammon; riches profit not in the day of evil, and ill-got wealth tends to worse than poverty." "Well, any how, I only wish that dream of mine came true." "Dream, goodman what dream?" said his wife.
Jermyn street or the sharpers congregated there had drained him very considerably; all his own ill-got gains had been gradually raked away by the croupier at the gaming-table; and unsuspecting Henry's little trust-fund was to be the next bank on which the brother played. Poor Henry and Maria! What will they do? where will they go? how will they live?
You, who brought in your estimable nephew to aid and abet in your own dishonest ways, are, it seems, going to be robbed of all your knavish gains by him. This is taking the wise in their own craftiness, I reckon: and richly you deserve to lose all your ill-got hoard. At the same time, Mrs.
Once Anthony and I had made up our minds, everything else arranged itself with lightning speed. Sir Marcus, rejoicing in his ill-got conquest of us, broke to me the news that I must go by the first ship to the Piraeus, to meet the Candace, and head off the recalcitrant band of passengers.
God out of Babylon doth people call, Commands them to forsake her ways, and all Her several sorts of worship, to deny Her whole religion as idolatry. Will man thus his usurped power forego, And lose his ill-got government?
He had decoyed Anita from her duty by his millions. Not that she was unwilling to be decoyed. And now she would revel in her ill-got luxury, while her legal husband could starve in a garret. As he brooded, the vision of Dyckman's money grew huger and huger. The dog had not merely thousands or hundreds of thousands, but thousands of thousands. Gilfoyle had never seen a thousand-dollar bill.
William's silence was his wife's opportunity. "Robbery's the word, you baggage! You thought to buy him wi' your ill-got gains. Ugh! go along wi' you!" 'Lizabeth threw a desperate look towards the cause of this trouble the pale mask lying on the pillows. Finding no help, she turned to William again "You believe I meant to rob you?" Meeting her eyes, William bent his own on the floor, and lied.
She's all as one as gone, glory be to God and the Blessed Virgin. Shure no good ever come of ill-got money; not that she was iver to blame. "She shall be dacently sthretched, though she is a Lynch, and a Kelly has to pay for it. Whisper, neighbour; in two years' time there'll not be one penny left on another of all the dirthy money Sim Lynch scraped together out of the gutthers."
After this, let mortals flatter themselves with golden dreams, let the weary miser heap up ill-got wealth for many years; 'twas but yesterday this lifeless thing was priding in its riches, and had fixt the very day he thought to return.
Stealthily and quickly "honest Roger" crept away, for his conscience smote him on the instant: he felt he had done wrong; at any rate, the sovereign was not his and once the thought arose in him to run back, and put it where he found it: but it was now become too precious in his sight, that little bit of gold and they, the rioters there, could not want it, might not even miss it; and then its righteous uses it should be well spent, even if ill-got: and thus, so many mitigations crowded in to excuse, if not to applaud the action, that within a little while his warped mind had come to call the theft a god-send.
