The lads ran heavily behind. The shed was belching smoke, and from the heather-thatch the flames were leaping in red flicker. "Jolly blaze!" cried Silver as he galloped. A sound of banging came from the heart of that cloud of smoke, and then the loud neigh of a frightened horse. The young man's face changed. "Four Pound's inside!" he cried.
"However," he said, "I'd be very much obliged if you could use 'em, Mrs Douglas. I'm overstocked now; haven't got room for another tin of sardines in the shop. Don't you worry about bills, Mrs Douglas; I can wait till Douglas comes home. I did well enough out of the Imperial Hotel when your husband had it, and a pound's worth of groceries won't hurt me now.
There was not the shifting of a pound's weight audible in the stillness. Millie breathed unevenly; at times he saw she shivered uncontrollably. At this his feeling mounted beyond all restraint. He said, taking her cold hand: "I didn't tell you why I went last night it was because I was afraid to stay where you were; I was afraid of the change you were bringing about in my life.
They were chiefly Italian coins, some five-franc pieces, a silver medallion inclosing a little image of his patron saint, San Giacomo, one solid English guinea, and somewhat more than a pound's worth in English silver. Jackeymo put back the foreign coins, saying prudently, "One will lose on them here;" he seized the English coins, and counted them out.
I shall be through the Bruce's reign. It is lengthy; but, hang it, it was our only halcyon period. I shall be soon done with one-half of the thousand pound's worth. May 20. Mr. Cadell breakfasted with us, with a youngster for whom he wants a letter to the Commander or Governor of Bombay. After breakfast C. and I had some talk of business.
"I wanted to ask a question about a gentleman who may have lodged with you a good deal later than that about seventy, I should think." And I mentioned the name of my friend. Mr Pound's brow cleared at once, and he looked up with a beaming smile. "Mr Forbes," he said "why, of course, I remember him well. He lodged with me over eighteen months."
Pound's turn to "declare," but she was clearer in the meaning than Miss Spinner. She would have told us some of the things Mr. Blight had said of Mr. Pound with a meaning quite as inverted. My mother, seeing the tempest rising, sought to still it by protesting that she was sure that in this instance the Professor was quite sincere. "I know he meant it," she said over and over again, until Mrs.
Money is only a title to wealth, because if I have a sovereign or a one-pound note in my pocket, I thereby have the power of buying a pound's worth of goods or of hiring a doctor to cure me or a parson to bury me or anybody else to do anything that I want, up to the buying power of that sovereign. This is the power that money carries with it.
"Well, Matthew," the old man would remark, after they had discussed Dr. Pound's latest flight on the nature of the Trinity or the depravity of man, or horticulture, or the Republican Party, "do you have any better news of Hugh at school?" "I regret to say, Mr. Durrett," my father would reply, "that he does not yet seem to be aroused to a sense of his opportunities." Whereupon Mr.
The secretary intimated that the Government was keeping a record of every pound's worth of damage and every person injured, with the expectation of making Germany reimburse. The South Shields attack led to further expansion of the air service and redoubled measures to check the raiders. It seems likely that not a few aircraft have been captured about which the British Government made no report.
