I'd like to keep Bob Charnock up, but guess it's dangerous. Owes me a pile. How does he stand with you?" Keller supplied the information, and the other looked thoughtful. "Didn't know it was quite so bad as that. I allow I'd better not let him have the goods." "Well, I reckon he's trying the new man at Concord. Smith said he met him there yesterday." The dealer frowned.
"All that is very well," said Don Quixote; "but let the shoes and the blood-lettings stand as a setoff against the blows you have given him without any cause; for if he spoiled the leather of the shoes you paid for, you have damaged that of his body, and if the barber took blood from him when he was sick, you have drawn it when he was sound; so on that score he owes you nothing."
And he unconsciously suggests a striking difference between himself and the great Elizabethan epic poet who owes so much to him, when he declines to make as long a tale of the chaff or of the straw as of the corn, and to describe all the details of a marriage-feast seriatim: The fruit of every tale is for to say: They eat and drink, and dance and sing and play.
But do you NEED that?" Her emphasis was wonderful, and though his eyes had been wandering he looked at her longer now. "I see what you mean." "Of course you see what I mean." Her triumph was gentle, and she really had tones to make justice weep. "I've before me what he owes you." "Admit then that that's something," she said, yet still with the same discretion in her pride.
A quick thrill of triumph shot through his heart, but it was a sensation that only lasted an instant; it was followed by a suspicion. "Because of the money?" he asked. "Partly," she answered simply. "Harry can't do anything. He owes five weeks here, and he owes you seven pounds, and his tailor's pressing him for money. He'd pawn anything he could, but he's pawned everything already.
Any man who reflects can not fail of knowing his duties, of discovering the relations which subsist between men, of meditating upon his own nature, of discerning his needs, his inclinations, and his desires, and of perceiving what he owes to the beings necessary to his own happiness. These reflections naturally lead to the knowledge of the morality which is the most essential for society.
I asked him if I could have a foreign abbe, who was indebted to me, arrested, although I had no proof of the debt. "You can do so, as he is a foreigner, but you will have to pay caution-money. You can have him put under arrest at his inn, and you can make him pay unless he is able to prove that he owes you nothing. Is the sum a large one?" "Twelve louis."
Even Pigault-Lebrun, a popular but immoral novel writer, narrowly escaped lately a trip to Cayenne for one of his blasphemous publications, and owes to the protection of Madame Murat exclusively that he was not sent to keep Varennes and Beaujou company.
So long as the act of Congress of the 20th of April, 1818, which owes its existence to the law of nations and to the policy of Washington himself, shall remain on our statute books, I hold it to be the duty of the Executive faithfully to obey its injunctions.
"Skaggs and Lady Deppingham's grandfather were the only white men who ever lived there long enough to find out what the island had stored up for civilisation. That's why they bought it outright, but I'm hanged if I can see why he wants to give it back to the natives." "Perhaps he owes it to them.
