"The ayes have it," the chairman proclaimed, coming down from his place and proceeding to build the fire, for he was a part-owner of the cabin and cook for his crowd. Frona turned to St. Vincent as the last of the crowd filed out. He clutched her hands spasmodically, like a drowning man. "Do believe me, Frona. Promise me." Her face flushed.
"Come in," said a decided voice, which was not Peter Hope's. Mr. William Clodd's ambition was, and always had been, to be the owner or part-owner of a paper. To-day, as I have said, he owns a quarter of a hundred, and is in negotiation, so rumour goes, for seven more. But twenty years ago "Clodd and Co., Limited," was but in embryo.
When the rumour first went flying up and down that there was gold in California which, as most people know, was before it was discovered in the British colony of Australia I was in the West Indies, trading among the Islands. Being in command and likewise part-owner of a smart schooner, I had my work cut out for me, and I was doing it. Consequently, gold in California was no business of mine.
Sea-cuny I was, but I was man, and to no man would I be beholden in my way with women. Hendrik Hamel might be one time part-owner of the old Sparwehr, with a navigator's knowledge of the stars and deep versed in books, but with women, no, there I would not give him better. He smiled that thin-lipped smile of his, and queried: "How like you the Lady Om?"
Being a House-prefect, Jim did not attend preparation in the Great Hall with the common herd of the Houses, but was part-owner with Tony of a study. The difficulties of the situation soon presented themselves to him.
"Miss Lackland is my partner and part-owner of Berande," Sheldon interrupted. "So she said," the irate skipper dashed on. "But she had no papers to show for it. How was I to know? And then there was that load of ivory nuts-eight tons of them." "For heaven's sake begin at the " Sheldon tried to interrupt.
He came to the Turkish consulate, not as consul but in some peculiar position; and by that time I was thriving as head-waiter and part-owner of a New York restaurant. Thither the fat beast came to eat daily. And so I met him, and recognized him. He did not know me. "Remember, I was young, and prosperous for the first time in all my life. You must not judge me by too up-right standards.
He was in the prime of life, and had been so often wet with salted water and dried by salted winds that he looked as though he might last forever. "He had ceased to sail in ships, because his last vessel, of which he had been part-owner, had positively declined to sail any longer under him.
The story ran through the town like fire among girdled trees, and became so much the universal talk that nobody could tell whence it had originated. Mr. Higginbotham was as well known at Parker's Falls as any citizen of the place, being part-owner of the slitting-mill and a considerable stockholder in the cotton-factories. The inhabitants felt their own prosperity interested in his fate.
"She's in a lively position, then," thought the dirty clerk, who cared no more for the Lively Poll than he did for her part-owner; but he only replied, "O dear!" with a solemn look of hypocritical sympathy. Mr Black seized his hat, rushed out of his office, and paid a sudden visit to his neighbour, Mr Walter Wilkins, senior. That gentleman was in the act of running his eye over his newspaper.
