I'm speaking now of the present Company after I'd decided to be my own promoter, and have at least some kind of 'a look-in' for my money. There wasn't much money left, by the way; it was considerably under three thousand. But I come to that later. First there was the Board. Here was where that Lord Plowden that I told you about the man that came over on the ship with me came in. I went to him.
Then, forcing herself to smile, she asked: "Won't you risk a look-in at the Exposition du Lis with us, Monsieur Gerard?" "Well, no," replied the Count, "I want to walk. I shall go with Monsieur l'Abbe Froment to the Chamber." Thereupon he took leave of mother and daughter, kissing the hand of each in turn.
If you'll give me a look-in in the forenoon, you shall know what I have heerd; but tell the young woman from Cap'en Cuttle, that it's over. Over! And the Captain, hooking off his glazed hat, pulled his handkerchief out of the crown, wiped his grizzled head despairingly, and tossed the handkerchief in again, with the indifference of deep dejection. 'Oh!
"Yes, and from the expression on your face, old fellow, I'm of the opinion right now that you mean to have a look-in on that later on when the river is frozen again." Frank laughed and nodded. "Some of us have been talking it over. You know Clifford has been unbeaten in that line for years. They have the best skaters up there in the State, they claim.
I s'picioned it afore; now I know it for sartain. He's a-goin' to give Eli a mule 'n' a Winchester fer killin' me. We're goin' to s'prise him to-night. He won't be look-in' fer us I've fixed that. I wus jus' about to sen' fer ye. I hain't fergot how ye kin handle a gun." Steve laughed significantly. "Ye're a good frien' o' mine, 'n' I'm goin' to show ye thet I'm a frien' o' yourn."
So weazen and yellow is the kivering upon your bones, that one might almost fancy you had come to give a look-in upon the French gentleman in the corner, instead of me.
"'I'm not speaking about myself in particular, I says. 'I'm speaking about all of us who are working for you. Then, I says, 'how do you know I can't make change? When there's an opening for better pay and easier work, I says, 'why don't you come to us and see if any of us think we can hold it down? You know us and can trust us, and instead of giving us a look-in, you go and hire an outsider."
As for the Kid, I'll do what I have been urged to do this long time by the personage who takes so kindly an interest in his fortunes I'll railroad him off to jail, at least till we get that mine or until it is, beyond question, lost to us. It isn't wise to let him go East; he might get hold of unlimited money. If he did, forewarned as he is now, Johnson would fix it so we shouldn't have a look-in.
"I've got a look-in on this, myself." "No, I don't think you have," she responded firmly. "The claim was the property of the Company." "Well, what of that?" "Why, only this, that the case is out of your hands. Ike Bray has disappeared, the claim is recorded, and only the Company can sue." "What, do you mean to say that when my claim is jumped I can't begin suit to get it back?" "Why, certainly.
Matilda has stood it so long now that it isn't going to hurt her to endure another week or so of her brother's company, and his appetite in the bargain. I'll try and forget all about it in thinking of our game with Belleville. We've just got to clinch that, as sure as anything, if we hope to have a look-in at that pennant." "We're going to do it, Thad," said Hugh, with set teeth.
