"But this ascendancy," I interposed, "would depend upon the robber's knowledge of the loser's knowledge of the robber. Who would dare " "The thief," said G , "is the Minister D , who dares all things, those unbecoming as well as those becoming a man. The method of the theft was not less ingenious than bold.
Speak the truth, and it shall profit thee, and do not lie, for lying is of the loser's fashion. Doubtless thou hast strayed this night from thy road, that thou hast happened on this place. So tell me what thou seekest: if thou wouldst have us set thee in the right road, we will do so, or if thou seek help, we will help thee."
With the money given him by the crowd, the $20 bill Battling Rodriguez added to it and the $50 he received as the loser's end of the purse in his bout, he had more than $625 as he boarded the car from Vernon to the city to return home. His happiness was dimmed, however, by the thought of facing his mother, who, he knew, would be waiting up for him.
Its rightful owner saw, but of course, dared not call attention to the act, in the presence of the third personage who stood at her elbow. The Minister decamped, leaving his own letter one of no importance upon the table." "Here, then," said Dupin to me, "you have precisely what you demand to make the ascendancy complete the robber's knowledge of the loser's knowledge of the robber."
He always used it when gamblers came to him in the heat of the loser's passion at unearthly hours and sometimes ended by making a loan at very high interest on sound security.

We needed the money. The tears were trickling down her checks as she bent over him, and it seemed she had never loved him so much as now. "Here; you count," he said, abandoning the effort and handing the money to her. "... How much do you make it?" "Nineteen dollars and thirty-five cents." "That's right... the loser's end... twenty dollars.
This was, of course, an exaggeration, but it showed the poignancy of the loser's regret. "Can't you think where you left it?" Suddenly Mr. Smith's face lighted up. "I remember where I left it, now," he said; "I was up in the chamber an hour since, and, while changing my coat, took out my wallet, and laid it on the bureau. I'll go right up and look for it." "Do, Socrates." Mr.
And this the climate we must change for heaven? These regions and this realm my wars have got; This mournful empire is the loser's lot; In liquid burnings, or on dry, to dwell, Is all the sad variety of hell." If you turn back to page 401 you can compare this with Milton's own version.
The young man dealt the two hands: he found he had a pair of fours, Lionel nothing but a king. The winner took over the loser's I.O.U. for the £30, and then said, "Well, now, I'll go you double or quits." "Oh, certainly," said Lionel, "if you like. But I don't think you should. You are the winner; stick to what you've got."
Credit with the tradesmen had undergone very slight expansion when he was matched with Sandel. The secretary of the Gayety Club had advanced him three pounds the loser's end of the purse and beyond that had refused to go.
