He can afford to give a dinner, with salted almonds and real imported champagne at every plate." "And a glass-scratching diamond souvenir from the million-dollar bride," added Polly with a wicked glance at Constance. "Are we positive that he has won a bride?" demanded Courtney, gathering courage from the fact that Polly was not crushed.
Somehow with her lips she smiled down at him, and did not tug for the release of her hand. Dallied for the instant instead. "You're lit up, Blink." "Some big guns in Wall Street, Marj, are after me, Marj, with a million-dollar proposition. "Yes, yes, but wait a minute, Blink. I'll be back." She even lay a pat on his shoulder and slid past him lightly. "In a minute, Blink."
"We've rather taken a fancy to you, haven't we, Tommy?" "Double it," Tommy laughed. "We agreed last night that you looked like a million-dollar bill to us!" "Oh, my boys," Monsieur sputtered with embarrassment and pleasure, "you disarm my power to thank you see, I blush!" "Damned if he isn't," Tommy grinned at me. "What d'you know about this little gezabo, anyhow!"
More frequently the public of the city, unable to think of more than one thing at one time, prostrated itself at the feet of a single apostle, but at other moments, such as the present, when a Flower Festival or a Million-Dollar Fair aroused enthusiasm in all quarters, the occasion was one of gala for the entire Fake.
The day after he sailed from Bremen came the war. Fanny Brandeis was only one of the millions of Americans who refused to accept the idea of war. She took it as a personal affront.

If Mr. Ross was somewhat agitating, he was calm as the desert compared with the rest of Pemberton's. His office, which was like a million-dollar hotel lobby, and Una's own den, which was like the baggage-porter's den adjoining the same, were the only spots at Pemberton's where Una felt secure.
So the ice was broken between them; which filled Montague with a vast relief. But he was still dimly touched with awe for he realized that this must be the great Mrs. Billy Alden, whose engagement to the Duke of London was now the topic of the whole country. And that huge diamond ornament must be part of Mrs. Alden's million-dollar outfit of jewellery!
On the way home that night he purchased a steam yacht, and built a million-dollar villa on the Black Sea. The next day Hazel Strong enjoyed one of the happiest surprises of her life she ran face to face upon Jane Porter as she was coming out of a jeweler's shop. "Why, Jane Porter!" she exclaimed. "Where in the world did you drop from? Why, I can't believe my own eyes."
"And 'Mr. Flynn Owes You a Yacht Ride' is of the same order, I suppose." "Yes. If it had been practicable, I'd have had some insets with that: a picture of Flynn, a cut of his new million-dollar yacht, and a table showing the twenty per cent dividends that the City Illuminating Company pays by over-taxing Jones on his lighting and heating. That would almost tell the story without comment."
He is under constant watch, and if we can ever get anything on him, I will nail him to the cross. But that doesn't help get this affair straightened out. I haven't given up, of course, there are lots of things not tried yet, but I must admit that temporarily, at least, I am up a stump." "Well," remarked Seaton, "that million-dollar reward will bring him in, sure.
