It was along about that stage that Private Ben, with more money in the bank than he'd ever dreamed came from all the mints, got this great scheme in his nut that a noble plute like him ought to have a big estate somewhere and build a castle on it.
"Merely another simile for our glorious work," says he. "You couldn't guess whose name was in that envelope, Twombley-Crane's!" "The Long Island plute?" says I. "You don't say! Why, when did Pyramid ever get the best of him, I wonder?" "I had almost forgotten the affair myself," says Steele.
Miss Vince was saying at the moment: "So I says to her, 'Kirk's just phoned to me to sit. 'What! Kirk! she says. 'Is he doin' a bit of work for a change? Well, it's about time. 'Aw, Kirk don't need to work, I says. 'He's a plute. He's got it in gobs. So " "I didn't know you were busy, dear," said Ruth. "I won't interrupt you." She went out. "Was that your wife?" inquired Miss Vince.
"The son of Joshua Q. Hubbard, you know." "I get you," says I. "The Boston cotton mill plute that come so near bitin' a chunk out of the new tariff bill. But I thought he was entertainin' the French Ambassador or someone at his Newport place?" Well, he was; but this is only a flyin' trip.
They just shuddered when his name was mentioned and stayed away from Villa Nova same as they had when that Duluth copper plute, who'd built the freak near-Moorish affair, tried the same act. But it didn't look like the Zoscos meant to be frozen out so easy.
"It's a two-year course," says Vee. "Stick to it," says I. "That'll give me time to take lessons from Westy on how to get an income wished onto me." As it stands, though, Vee's got me distanced. Please, ain't somebody got a plute aunt to spare? Just think!
His eye had just caught sight of the first trailing wreaths of smoke, from up the cliff. "An auto's gone to smash, down there, or I'm a plute!" He needed no second thought to hurl him forward to the rescue. At a smart pace he ran, halloo'ing loudly, to tell the victims should they still live that help was at hand. At his right, extended the wall.
Last I saw of him was at the opening of 'The Outsider' at the Astor. That's a couple of months ago." "He's been traveling in Europe, I believe," said Raikes. "Lucky beggar to be able to. I wish I could." Sutton knocked the ash off his cigar. "I envy Jimmy," he said. "I don't know anyone I'd rather be. He's got much more money than any man except a professional 'plute' has any right to.
You've come to take the job?" "No, I haven't, thank you all the same, Pete!" was the quick answer. "I've struck luck for sure, luck with a fine old plute, who is ready to stake me for all I could earn here, and keep me at St. Andrew's." "Stake you for all you could earn here?" echoed Pete, in amazement. "I'll tell you all about it later," said Dan, breathlessly. "Just now I'm dumb struck, Pete.
I'd always had a notion that I'd be a plute some day; but honest, I wa'n't expectin' it so sudden. I was just tryin' to get used to it, when the door opens and in drifts that guy from the Marshal's office. "Where's Mr. Belmont Pepper?" says he. "Well," says I, "the last time I saw him he was headed west." "Skipped out!" says the gent, doin' the foiled villyun stunt with his face.
