They walked from one end of the chateau to the other, Porthos looking with wondering eyes at D'Artagnan, who was counting on his fingers. "Four hundred, at a pistole each, four hundred pistoles." "Yes," interposed Porthos, "four hundred pistoles; but who is to make four hundred pistoles?" "A pistole is not enough," said D'Artagnan, "'tis worth a louis." "What is worth a louis?"
Carvel, tossing him the piece. "Nay, father, I do not encourage the lad to be a spendthrift," says Grafton, taking the pistole himself. "I will place this token of your appreciation in his strong-box. You know we have a prodigal strain in the family, sir." And my uncle looks at me significantly. "Let it be as I say, Grafton," persists Mr.
"In that case, in the name of heaven," continued he, throwing him a pistole, "tell me what you have seen, and I will pledge you the word of a gentleman that not one of your words shall escape from my heart."
Grey, who knew not where to turn for a pistole, and was ready for any undertaking, however desperate, lent his aid. No art was spared which could draw Monmouth from retreat. To the first invitations which he received from his old associates he returned unfavourable answers.

Carvel, who liked not to be balked in any matter, and was not over-pleased at this reference to my father. And he gave Philip forthwith another pistole, telling his father to add the first to his saving if he would. "And Richard must have his chance," says my Aunt Caroline, sweetly, as she rises to leave the room. "Ay, here is a crown for you, Richard," says my uncle, smiling.
"Who, I?" said the patron, laughing; "I have sailed about with my father, and I know what is called a sou, a crown, a pistole, a louis, and a double louis, in all the languages of Europe; my crew, therefore, listen to me as they would to an oracle, and obey me as if I were an admiral." "Then it was you who preferred M. Lambert as the best customer?" "Yes, certainly.
However unwilling Master Philip had been to disturb himself for errands, he was nothing loth to show his knowledge, and recited glibly enough several lines of his Virgil verbatim; thereby pleasing his fond parents greatly and my grandfather not a little. "I will add a crown to your savings, Philip," says his father. "And here is a pistole to spend as you will," says Mr.
They seemed more than willing to comply; but debates presently arose concerning the fee of a pistole, which the Governor had demanded on each patent of land issued by him.
