Selwyn had been turning over the pages of a price-list that was lying on her knee "I see the World's Store have just brought out a new kind of adjustable reading-table. It's a much lighter make than the one I have. I think I should find it easier to use." Selwyn's face clouded. "How much does it cost, dear?" he asked nervously. "These mechanical contrivances are very expensive, you know."
"Oh, this one isn't. It's only five guineas." "Five guineas is rather a lot of money, Minnie," he said gravely. "Couldn't you manage with the table you have for a bit longer?" Mrs. Selwyn tossed the price-list pettishly on to the floor. "Of, of course!" she declared. "That's always the way. 'Can't I manage with what I have?

No price list, no price list, a price-list, a price and list and so collected, so collected pipe, all one cooler, a little apple needs a hose a little nose is colored, a little apple and a chest, a pig is in the sneezing, no blotter, raised ahead.

The Carrington factory is to issue its price-list on Monday."
"There! read read the price-list to me. I am blind and helpless, for that jade has hid my glasses. I know she has. I cannot find them anywhere, and I must know how Turkish bonds are going. Read to me. I'll hear what you have to say after." He thrust the paper into her hand, and sat down in the high-backed chair. Poor Katherine felt almost dazed.
The ceiling was not only smoked by the lamp black, but was so low as to force one involuntarily bend down his neck. Only the price-list, on which was glaringly written "Noodles" and which was pasted on the wall, was entirely new.

But the next morning the reduced price-list was posted on the walls of the different rooms in Lloyd's. There was a driving snow-storm the next day. When Ellen started for the factory the white twilight of early morning still lingered. Everywhere were the sons and daughters of toil plodding laboriously and noiselessly through the snow, each keeping in the track of the one who went before.
'How long has she been away? I asked. 'Weeks four, replied the mother, whose knowledge of English was confined to the price-list of white-fish and blueberries, the two articles of her traffic with the boarding-house keepers. 'When will she return? 'Je n'sais.
