These girls, many of them, live in quiet boarding houses and hotels where they keep up a strict appearance of decency and yet they are living the worst kind of immoral lives, because they follow this trade scientifically." Reggie Van Nostrand, by reason of his gallant assistance, and at his urgent request, had been allowed to listen.
Stener was a depositor with him to the extent of nearly five hundred thousand dollars. The State, through its State treasurer, Van Nostrand, carried two hundred thousand dollars on his books. Bode was speculating in street-railway stocks to the extent of fifty thousand dollars. Relihan to the same amount. A small army of politicians and political hangers-on were on his books for various sums.
Just put in your bid. Van Nostrand, with the governor's approval, will make the award. We can fix the governor, I think. After you get it they may talk to you personally, but that's your business." Cowperwood smiled his inscrutable smile. There were so many ins and outs to this financial life. It was an endless network of underground holes, along which all sorts of influences were moving.

Consequently, little Van Nostrand had been drilled until he declared he woke himself up in the night whistling, and so the days sped away. Mr. Harold and Daddy Neil had arrived and the morning of the Masqueraders' show dawned. In less than twelve hours the bird chorus would be on the stage whistling Polly's bird notes.

"And they are to have a house party there during the holidays, girls. Think of that!" cried Helen.

War has its science and its art. There is a domain of general principles, which have their application in all the active operations of war; and military science is but the sum of these principles in their theory and practice.
"Do you know who I am?" Burke wasted no time, but jumped into the seat, for it was as opportune as though placed there by Providence. Perhaps Providence has more to do with some coincidences than the worldly wise are prone to confess. "I'm Officer 4434 of the Police Department, and you mind my orders." "Well, I'm Reggie Van Nostrand," answered the young man, "and I take orders from no man."
I put the money with my pride into my pocket, and continued sorting out bills from the rubbish. In all we scheduled over forty before we gave it up. Besides the Van Nostrand painting and one or two accounts that probably escaped us, I found that I owed between $4,000 and $5,000. "That is the whole of my dowry, John," I said.
