The word precarious seemed to be effective, because Ricardo's eyes lost their dangerously interested expression. "No, not so bad," Ricardo said, with indifference. "It's my opinion that men will gamble as long as they have anything to put on a card. Gamble? That's nature. What's life itself? You never know what may turn up.
He answered the direct question by a direct statement, as if he were too tired to dissemble: "After the swag." The word was strange to her. The veiled ardour of her grey gaze from under the dark eyebrows never left Ricardo's. "A swag?" she murmured quietly. "What's that?" "Why, swag, plunder what your gentleman has been pinching right and left for years the pieces. Don't you know? This!"
You have muscles like a giant!" Luckily for Lena, Ricardo's onset had been so sudden she was winding her two heavy tresses round her head that she had no time to lower her arms. This, which saved them from being pinned to her sides, gave her a better chance to resist. His spring had nearly thrown her down.
In Ricardo's pages, the fundamental principles of that department of exchange are indeed laid down with a master's hand; but for the majority of readers they have little relation to the actual commerce of the world. Turn to Mill, and all becomes clear.

As an example, I may refer to Mill's development of Ricardo's doctrine of foreign trade.
He stepped to Don Ricardo's bedroom door, and tapped loudly. "Hillo!" quoth the Don. Spin flew the apple bash on the blackamoor's obtuse snout.
"All imprisonment, whatever its character, must be intolerable, it seems to me," I grumbled. Then, checking myself, I exclaimed: "But do not let us talk about myself. Do you mind telling me who you are? Your face seems familiar to me, somehow, yet I am certain that I have never before seen you. Are you, by any chance, Captain Ricardo's daughter?"
Mill neither denied the premises nor disputed the logic of Ricardo's argument: he accepted both; and in particular he recognized fully the force of the principle of population; but he took account of a further premise which Ricardo had overlooked, and which, duly weighed, led to a reversal of Ricardo's conclusion.
Holding his chin in his hand he looked down intently at her still face. "Has she been stabbed with this thing?" asked Davidson, whom suddenly he saw standing by his side and holding up Ricardo's dagger to his sight. Heyst uttered no word of recognition or surprise.
