"The Government could not afford to let the real facts get out. But, of course, the insiders in the Navy knew it, and the memory will last as long as the ships last. As I say, it killed my father." "But weren't the men punished at all?" "There was a Board appointed to try the case, and they awarded the Government about six hundred thousand dollars' damages.
In March 1865, his contract was transferred to the Credit Mobilier Company, which as has been previously stated, was organized by the promoters and insiders of the Railroad Company to do the actual construction.
The coach was greatly overburdened with outside passengers, fifteen in all, besides the four insiders, and one of the fifteen formed the apex of an immense pile of luggage on the top. It seems to me miraculous that we did not topple over, the road being so hilly and uneven, and the driver, I suspect, none the steadier for his visits to all the tap-rooms along the route from Cockermouth.
A buzz of excitement ran through the office, and the old-timers sat up in their seats. The stock went another quarter. Montague heard a man behind him say to his neighbour, "What does it mean?" "God knows," was the answer; but Oliver whispered in his brother's ear, "I know what it means. The insiders are buying." Somebody was buying, and buying furiously.
In this case it's the politicians who organise the construction companies; that's their share, in return for the franchises.

I'm just tipping you off how not to be a friend to Altacoola. As to his politics, the Senator will answer you himself." A scornful laugh accompanied Telfer's reply. "Altacoola, huh! I reckon yo' must be a fool, after all. Why, everybody knows of the speculatin' in land around Altacoola, and everybody knows it ain't outsiders that's doin' it. It's the insiders, right here in Washington.
That Mamie Magen had, during Una's own experience, evolved from a Home Club girl to an executive who had tea at her apartment every afternoon was inspiriting; meeting her an adventure. An apartment of buff-colored walls and not bad prints was Mamie's, small, but smooth; and taking tea in a manner which seemed to Una impressively suave were the insiders of the young charity-workers' circle.
He and Selim dropped into the shrubbery in time to escape a withering fire from outside the gates. The searchlight revealed a compact mass of men beyond the walls. It was then that the insiders realised how near they had come to being surprised and destroyed. A minute more, and the gates would have been opened to this merciless horde.
