I've seen one of these yere mule experts with the most easy, delicate, delib'rate twist of the wrist make his whip squirm in the air like a hurt snake; an' then he'll straighten it out with the crack of twenty rifles, an' the buckskin popper cuts a hole in a loose buffalo robe he's hung up; an' all without investin' two ounces of actooal strength.
And he always treated me fine, raised my wages right along, and the like of that. 'Twas him that put me in the way of investin' my money in them sugar stocks and the rest. He made me rich, or headed me that way.
But, in my experience, Providence don't go round buyin' up d d fools, or investin' in dead beats." When Mr. Slinn, finally, with the aid of crutches, was able to hobble every day to the imposing counting-house and the office of Mr. Mulrady, which now occupied the lower part of the new house, and contained some of its gorgeous furniture, he was installed at a rosewood desk behind Mr.
"You let on that folks got rich quick by investin'. Me 'n' James was powerful anxious to git money so's so's we could git married on it. So we drawed out our money and and invested it." "Come here, Grandmother," said Scattergood, and she stood just before his chair, her head coming very little higher than his own as he sat there, big and ominous. "So the skunk took your money, too.
Of course, I'll be investin'; and a man may as well do things with his eyes open may as well examine both sides o' the candle-box, you know. You may go, sir." "Well," thought the stranger to himself, as he literally went on his way rejoicing toward Birney's office, "no man in this life should ever yield to despair.
"He's loaned a good deal about five hundred thousand dollars to this young Cowperwood in Third Street, that's been handlin' city loan. They've been investin' it for themselves in one thing and another mostly in buyin' up street-railways." If he doesn't hold out, there'll be five hundred thousand dollars missin' from the city treasury which can't be put back.
Baines, I see men and other kinds of men from behind my cigar counter and the kind of a man Ovid Nixon could be is worth more than that." "Mebby so.... Mebby so. But if I was investin' in Ovid, I'd want some sort of a guarantee with him. Would you be willin' to furnish the guarantee? And see it was kept good?" "If you mean what I think you do yes," she said, steadily. "I'd marry Ovid to-morrow."
Well, not digressin' any, I run a-foul of a guy last week which was dead set on investin' in ten acres of my land, skirtin' one of the irrigation ditches which they're figgerin' on puttin' in. The price I wanted was a heap satisfyin' to the guy. But he suggests that before he forks over the coin we go down to the courthouse an' muss up the records to see if my title is clear.
I s'pose I should, only I couldn't help thinkin' he might wait till we was married before he begun to think about investin' my money. No, he won't let me off from marryin' him unless I give him all my money. Yesterday I had thoughts of doin' that; but now there's the boys." The queer black stick had fallen, and was crumbling away, but it had crushed the last flickering flame.
