"You are prepared to give or take?" said Jonathan, with same eagerness in his manner. "Yes." "Well, which will you do?" "I vill give," coolly replied the Dutchman.

Here ish de monish;" and he drew forth a large roll of bank-bills.
Dis voman called at my shtore yesterday, and begged me for monish.

"Ve vill speak apout you." "Did Baxter put up this plot against us? queried Dick. "To be sure I did," answered Baxter, who loved to brag just as much as ever. "And before I let you go I'm going to make you pay up dearly for all that I have suffered. Captain Villaire, have you had them searched?" he asked, turning again to his companion. "Yees, Baxter, but za had not mooch monish wid zem."
These did not seem to communicate anything of very special importance in addition to what she had already said, for she examined them closely and then merely summed up as follows: “Goot fortoon, goot blanet, goot vifes, blenty monish, mooch kindes, not more troubles in der footoor years, big friends, bresident mooch friends mit you, lif long, ninety-nine years before you die, leave fortoon to vife und two kindes.”
