Even since the sales of this afternoon, I am infawmed that many of the pieces have been resold at an advance, netting the puhchasers a nice profit without putting up a cent. Upon all this I congratulate you. Lattimore, ladies and gentlemen, has nevah been cuhsed by a boom, and I pray God she nevah may!
"Well, when she came to Maud, at Maud's home, in the North, she was still in agony about Mingo, who'd been recaptured. So Maud wrote South, to her aunt, who wrote back: 'Yes, he had been brought home, and at creditor's auction had been sold to a slave-trader to be resold here in New Orleans. So then Sidney begged Maud, who by luck was coming here, to bring her here to find him." "Brave Sidney.
The police could always identify a man who had been a chain-gang prisoner during the rest of his life by the way he dragged his feet after him. In their leisure hours these convicts were allowed to make cabbage-tree hats. They sold them for about a shilling each, and the shop-keepers resold them for a dollar.
Quite recently one of Correggio's most beautiful works was discovered under the canvas of a worthless picture acquired at a public auction in Rome for a few dimes, at the sale by a princely family of discarded pictures, and resold by its fortunate discoverer for fifteen thousand dollars, although the original proprietor instituted a suit against him for its recovery, but without success.
The apprentices sent from Europe were generally bound out in the French Antilles for eighteen months or three years, among the English for seven years. They were often resold in the interim, and sometimes served ten or twelve years before they regained their freedom.
This large sum included L13,000 due to Lady Shelley for "the pittance" Mary had received; L4,500 to John Shelley for a mortgage Shelley signed to pay his debts, probably for the L2,000 borrowed on leaving Marlow, when he paid all his debts there; so that if any trifle was left unpaid on that occasion, it must have been from oversight and want of dunning, as he undoubtedly left there with sufficient money, having also resold his house for L1,000.
"I am perhaps mistaken," said von Moll, "in saying that the island has already been resold; but very soon it will be." "Oh no, it won't," said the Queen. "It's my island, you know, my very own, and I wouldn't part with it for anything you could offer me." "I understand," said von Moll, "that it is the Emperor's wish that the island should revert to the Crown of Megalia."
The pastry was burnt, and I was resold to a barber, whose wife was a shrew, and half killed me; fortunately the barber was accused of shaving a criminal, who had escaped from prison, and one morning was stretched out before his own door, with his head under his arm. His wife and I were both sold again as slaves.
The last wild one sold was for twenty-five dollars to a buyer, and resold for something like a thousand dollars by him. A large number of farms grew up and met with more or less success, one big one especially in Labrador, which is still running. For some reason the success of this farm so far has not been what was hoped for it.
For when a poor farmer, whose crops failed, could not pay his rent or loan on the date promised, these hard-hearted money lenders would turn him out of his house, seize his beds and mats and rice-tub, and even the shrine and images on the god-shelf, to sell them at auction for a trifle, to their minions, who resold them at a high price for the money-lender, who thus got a double benefit.
