'Among the early associates of Johnson, at St. It was not unusual for Boyse to be a customer to the pawnbroker. On one of these occasions, Dr. Johnson collected a sum of money to redeem his friend's clothes, which in two days after were pawned again. The late Reverend Mr. Johnson, by Mr. Nichols, some years before his death, thus expressed himself in a letter to that gentleman:
Change a dozen times and let it be the trinket in the right hand the opal; let it be the opal. How much would the opal fetch? The pawnbroker can best inform us upon that point. So he drove to the pawnbroker; one whom he knew. The pawnbroker offered him five-and-twenty pounds on the security of the opal. "What on earth is it that people think disgraceful in your entering a pawnbroker's shop?"
Buddy had been taken to the Rootville jail and searched, and a pawn-ticket for the stolen watch found in his vest pocket. The ticket was on a Middletown pawnbroker, and showed that fifteen dollars had been loaned on the timepiece.
Then Jurgen set about that which Mother Sereda said was necessary. Of Compromises on a Wednesday So it was that, riding upon a horse whose bridle was marked with a coronet, the pawnbroker returned to a place, and to a moment, which he remembered. It was rather queer to be a fine young fellow again, and to foresee all that was to happen for the next twenty years.
"You see, Watson," he explained, in the early hours of the morning, as we sat over a glass of whisky and soda in Baker Street, "it was perfectly obvious from the first that the only possible object of this rather fantastic business of the advertisement of the League, and the copying of the 'Encyclopædia, must be to get this not over-bright pawnbroker out of the way for a number of hours every day.
"I am as glad as you are that the pawnbroker is not her brother: there are Ezras and Ezras in the world; and really it is a comfort to think that all Jews are not like those shopkeepers who will not let you get out of their shops: and besides, what he said to you about his mother and sister makes me bless him.

"Have you seen him since?" "I have not seen him since. But I am glad that I saved the property of my client." "Was Norman rich?" "Very well off indeed, but he did not make his money out of his book-selling business. In fact," said Pash, putting the tips of his fingers delicately together, "he was rather a good judge of jewels." "And a pawnbroker," interrupted Hurd, dryly.
The room being prepared for her reception, he returned to that disconsolate beauty, to whom he presented ten guineas, which he pretended to have raised by pledging the picture, though he himself acted as the pawnbroker on this occasion, for a very plain and obvious reason. The fair orphan was overjoyed to find her wish so speedily accomplished.
"I can't understand that cat business," said Levi when he had finished. "It's quite farcical; he must have poisoned it." "He wasn't near it," said the pawnbroker, "it was at the other end of the counter." "Oh, hang it," said Levi, the more irritably because he could not think of any solution to the mystery. "You don't believe in occult powers and all that sort of thing.

Now, he must be precious old, you know, and he has not a soul about him, and he is reported to be immensely rich; and whether he is a smuggler, or a receiver, or an unlicensed pawnbroker, or a money-lender all of which I have thought likely at different times it might pay you to knock up a sort of knowledge of him.
