After dinner in the restaurant car no champagne, because it was vulgar, but a good sound, expensive wine they felt more equal to the situation, more like part-owners of the train. Nellie prudently went to bed ere the triumphant feeling wore off. But Denry stayed up smoking in the corridor.
They then divided it into five lots, and an equal number of thongs was selected by the five part-owners of the meat; these were given to a stranger not concerned in the division, and he arbitrarily placed one upon each piece, from which decision there was no appeal.

One of these sons Lawrence Lewis married Nellie Custis, the adopted daughter of Washington and granddaughter of Mrs. Washington, and the couple, by Washington's will, became part-owners of Mount Vernon.

Knowing that she and I were both part-owners, knowing that we were both here, isn't it quite to be expected that they would write to the man instead of to the woman? Of course I gave her the letter as soon as I had opened it." "Of course," answered Lee. But his thoughts were not with his answer.
Was it not natural that they should go down to the "Old Dock," or the "Salthouse," or the "New Dock," and there be gratified with a sight of a ship of which they little as they were were still part-owners? We took them on deck and showed them where a bloody battle had been fought on the very deck and spot on which their little feet pattered about.
