"Where would you advise me to go first?" "I hardly know. If I wished to sell it I would carry it to Tiffany; but it was purchased there, and it might in that case come to my husband's ears. There is a pawnbroker, named Simpson, who, I hear, is one of the best of his class. You may go there first." "How much shall I say you want on it?" asked Frank.
Balsamo, a deep student of certain sorts of human nature, was perfectly aware that, just as necessity will force a person to visit a pawnbroker, so will inherited superstition force a person to visit a palmist, no matter what the inconveniences.
"I cannot repay your kindness," he said, "though some day I will repay your silver. But these seeds the moon-seeds," he pulled out a handful. "You liked the flowers?" He handed a generous score across the red-brown polished wood. "Thank you, my lad," said the pawnbroker. "I'll raise them in gentle heat." "I think they grow best by moonlight," said Dickie.
"I will, sir," said the constable, and moved off in company with Levi. The pawnbroker closed the door hastily behind them and bolted it securely. His friend's jest about the devil under the counter occurred to him as he eyed it, and for the first time in his life, the lonely silence of the shop became oppressive.
"A month or two later the pawnbroker was in San Francisco so he called at the Altamont Apartments to deliver the license in person, only to discover that the person he sought had departed and that her address was unknown. So he wrote Nan again, using her married name and addressed her at Port Agnew, Washington.

All at once he heard the student mention to the officer the pawnbroker Alyona Ivanovna and give him her address.
'He may go hang for me, said Fitzsimons sulkily; 'and he'd better be off quickly, too, for the jeweller and the tailor have called once, and will be here again before long. It was Moses the pawnbroker that peached: I had the news from him myself. By which I conclude that Mr.
Here and there the billiard-room, the gardener's lodge, a little greenhouse, made their appearance, like the pieces of one of the Swiss chalets we give to children to play with; all very light and fragile, hardly more than resting on the ground, as if ready to fly away at the slightest breath of bankruptcy or caprice: the villa of a cocotte or a pawnbroker.
