A year ago a prince passed through here; the way the old fellow took off his hat to him, really, it looked as if he wanted to say: 'You are one, I am another. To expect to get twenty-six pistoles for the mare! But that is the unfortunate part of it, when a peasant acquires too much property.
However much of a Jew he may be, he will give you at least eight hundred pistoles. Pistoles have no name, young man, and that ring has a terrible one, which may betray him who wears it." "Sell this ring, a ring which comes from my sovereign? Never!" said d'Artagnan.
Mazarin, who had dispensed a thousand louis to make the people cry "Long live Mazarin," and who had accordingly no confidence in acclamations bought at twenty pistoles each, kept one eye on Porthos; but that gigantic body-guard replied to the look with his great bass voice, "Be tranquil, my lord," and Mazarin became more and more composed.
You'll think all this very strange, and confus'd, but I assure you, THERE YOU'L SOON HEAR OF A HURLY BURLY; but I will see my friend or that can happen. I wish I had the Highland pistoles. If Donald wants mony, pray give him. He is to come with a Shoot of Close to me, when I receive Credit. I WILL RUN AT LEAST TOW HUNDRED LEAGUES POST. You'l hear from me when I write to my friend.
"Patience, your highness, for a few hours," urged the duke, "and the hundred thousand pistoles shall be counted out before thee." "This poor man," answered the grand vizier, indicating the Jew with a rapid glance, "has been so racked and tortured in your accursed prison-house, that he cannot be too speedily placed under the care of my own chirurgeon.
He owned the euphonious name of Abdon. I spent twenty pistoles in suitable raiment and a horse for him, and as we left Meung next day the knave cut a brave enough figure that added not a little to my importance to have at my heels. This, however, so retarded our departure, that night had fallen by the time we reached Blois. Still our journey had been a passing swift one.
A deputation from the City attended at the same time, to tender their loyalty to the King, and to make an offering of £10,000. It was little wonder that the King, who a few weeks before was hard put to it to borrow a few pistoles, and was deep in debt for the maintenance of his household, should receive such messengers with overflowing welcome.
Here is a note for two hundred pistoles." "But I want my horse for my journey, sire." "Well!" "Well, and you take mine from me." "Not at all. On the contrary, I give it you. Only as it is now mine and not yours, I am sure you will not spare it." "Your majesty is in a hurry, then?" "A great hurry." "Then what compels me to wait two days?" "Reasons known to myself." "That's a different affair.
Captain Frankland presented the French captain with a thousand pistoles, with which he was far from contented. The captain also made another fortunate discovery by means of a young French boy whom he had taken into his service. The boy complained to him that one of the sailors had taken from him a stick which was in appearance of no value.
There were six Spanish pieces, of four pistoles each, besides twenty or thirty smaller coins. I saw him wet the tip of his little finger upon his tongue, and take up one of my largest pieces, and then another, but he seemed to be wholly ignorant what they were.
