This is perhaps the right place at which to refer to the matter, as it belongs in the list of his financial or commercial enterprises. Edison sums up this chapter of his life very pithily.
Venn agreed with this speaker, some little bitterness in his tone. Another stood up for Langholm. "We should be as dark," said he, "if we had married Gayety choristers, and they had left us, and we went in dread of their return!" They sum up the life tragedies pretty pithily, in these clubs. "He was always a silly ass about women," rejoined Langholm's critic, summing up the man. "So it's Mrs.
"Dead men," he pithily remarked, "need no guards." On the principle of "In for a penny, in for a pound," Almagro was already deep enough in the bad graces of Francisco Pizarro, and he might as well be in deeper than he was, especially as the execution of Hernando would remove his worst enemy. But Almagro does not appear to have been an especially cruel man.

B. shall follow." Yet the Earl's real griefs against Buys may be easily summed up.
Whereon Chremylus asks him whether, "if he recovered his sight, he would frequent the company of the good." "Certainly," quoth Plutus; "for I have not seen them ever so long." "Nor I either," rejoins Chremylus, pithily, "for all I can see out of both eyes."
Something of this may, probably, be attributed to the freedom of mountain air and of isolated hill-side life; something be derived from their rough Norse ancestry. They have a quick perception of character, and a keen sense of humour; the dwellers among them must be prepared for certain uncomplimentary, though most likely true, observations, pithily expressed.
