During the past five years, when the product in the Congo fields has grown steadily, not a single karat has been stolen. The same situation obtains in the Angola fields. In company with Doyle I visited the eight principal mines in the Congo field and saw the process of mining in all its stages of advancement.
Yes, sir, you're a twenty-two karat gentleman; you're the first professor the freaks darsent josh!" Von Barwig bowed his head. He was grateful to Costello; the man had made his hideous task almost bearable. "Now I don't want to lose her and I don't want to lose you," Costello went on, "but things have got to go right, see? They've got to! You're one of them kind that can take a tip.
"Selim bought her last winter for a ten karat ruby and a pint of sapphires." "That explains her overwhelming love for Selim," said the Princess quietly. Chase looked into her eyes for a moment and smiled inwardly. "I'll be happy to tell you all about her some other time," he said. "Her story is most interesting." "That will be perfectly delightful," chimed in Drusilla.
He's come up in the world since you saw him." "Bert," I said, "tell me tell us quick." "Not much to tell," he said, "except Skinny and I are both on the job.

"Well, I hope I have not actually grown homely," conceded Dorothy, "for Aunt Winnie is so fond of a good appearance." "Your hair is darker that is, on the ripe corn shade.
