"Hold, sir," says the sick man; "I believe I can answer that point; for I can swear he hath several title-deeds of the estate now in his possession, which I am sure were stolen from the right owner." The justice still hesitated. He said title-deeds savoured of the Realty, and it was not felony to steal them. If, indeed, they were taken away in a box, then it would be felony to steal the box.
And he actually did buy the Widow Hullins's half-a-crown-a-week cottage for forty-five pounds, of which he paid thirty pounds in cash and arranged that the balance should be deducted gradually from his weekly commission. He chose the Widow Hullins's because it stood by itself an odd piece, as it were, chipped off from the block of Mrs Codleyn's realty. The transaction quietened Mrs Codleyn.
The white portico the palace-like, tall, round columns, spotless as snow the walls also the tender and soft moonlight, flooding the pale marble, and making peculiar faint languishing shades, not shadows everywhere a soft transparent hazy, thin, blue moon-lace, hanging in the air the brilliant and extra-plentiful clusters of gas, on and around the facade, columns, portico, &c. everything so white, so marbly pure and dazzling, yet soft the White House of future poems, and of dreams and dramas, there in the soft and copious moon the gorgeous front, in the trees, under the lustrous flooding moon, full of realty, full of illusion the forms of the trees, leafless, silent, in trunk and myriad angles of branches, under the stars and sky the White House of the land, and of beauty and night sentries at the gates, and by the portico, silent, pacing there in blue overcoats stopping you not at all, but eyeing you with sharp eyes, whichever way you move.
But everywhere in Europe what is happening is a great transformation of the property owner into a rentier, and the passing of realty into the hands of the State. At the end of the war Great Britain will probably find herself with a national debt so great that she will be committed to the payment of an annual interest greater in figures than the entire national expenditure before the war.
This need not surprise us, when we remember that it was as much as a man's life was worth to be anything else. There were also twenty-five thousand serfs. A serf was required to be at hand night or day when the baron needed some one to kick. He was generally attached to the realty, like a hornet's nest, but not necessary to it.

There's the Alameda & Contra Costa Land Syndicate, the Consolidated Street Railways, the Yerba Buena Ferry Company, the United Water Company, the Piedmont Realty Company, the Fairview and Portola Hotel Company, and half a dozen more that I've got to refer to a notebook to remember. There's the Piedmont Laundry Farm, and Redwood Consolidated Quarries.
It was a request from an advertising agency to proceed to Pleasant Plains, S. I., and interview the president of a realty company who desired what we call tersely enough a "write-up," an essentially modern development of English Literature, in my opinion.
Sheridan broke with a little sniff, having fallen into a reverie that brought tears. "That Miss Vertrees was a good girl," she said. "SHE was all right." Her husband evidently had no difficulty in following her train of thought, for he nodded once more, affirmatively. "Did you How did you fix it about the the Realty Company?" she faltered. "Did you "
All the malevolence of the human bloodhound seemed concentrated in his look. "Who forged those Carlton Realty checks?" he hissed. "Who played off the weakness of Dumont and Beverley against the clever thefts of Murray Dodge! Who is using a counterfeiter and a soldier of fortune and swindling honest American bankers and business men as no man crook you seem to like that word crook could ever do?"
