When one of my noblemen or subjects gets rich enough to own a palace like this, I cut off his head and take his fortune." A very beautiful English lady told me that she was at Ferdinand Rothschild's, where the Shah was being entertained. In order to minimize his acquisitive talents, the wonderful treasures of Mr. Rothschild's house had been hidden.

"I hope not," Abe replied; and for the second time that day he left his place of business and boarded a downtown L train. Ferdy Rothschild's office was tucked away in an obscure corner of a small office building on Liberty Street, and as Abe plodded wearily up three flights of stairs he overtook a short, stout gentleman headed in the same direction.

Graham Vane, now stretching himself and accepting the cigar which Lemercier offered him, said to that gentleman "You who know your Paris by heart everybody and everything therein worth the knowing, with many bodies and many things that are not worth it can you inform me who and what is a certain lady who every fine day may be seen walking in a quiet spot at the outskirts of the Bois de Boulogne, not far from the Baron de Rothschild's villa?

Should it be the means of advancing, even one single hour, the inevitable progress of truth and justice, I would not exchange the consciousness for all Rothschild's wealth or Sir Walter's fame." Thenceforth her life was a battle; a constant rowing hard against the stream of popular prejudice and hatred.

Cyril Flower's, one of the most sumptuous houses in London; and after that to Lady Rothschild's, another of the private palaces, with ceilings lofty as firmaments, and walls that might have been copied from the New Jerusalem.

I am glad you have done this, if it seems right to you. But does it? Are you sure?" "I think so, Mother. I confess I am not sure." "This country bank is a pretty small place, isn't it? Not big enough for my boy to prove his worth in." "It is quite big enough for that. That doesn't require a Rothschild's establishment." "But your decision must have been a very sudden one.

She went over two prisons, one ancient, the other modern, Newgate and Pentonville; over two hospitals, the Foundling and Bethlehem. She was also taken, at her own request, to see several of the great City sights; the Bank, the Exchange, Rothschild's, etc. The power of vast yet minute organisation, always called out her respect and admiration.

Half the lung fevers that carry off the great people are got waiting for their carriages. I know full well that many readers would be disappointed if I did not mention some of the grand places and bring in some of the great names that lend their lustre to London society. We were to go to a fine musical party at Lady Rothschild's on the evening of the 30th of May.

A young man! that is to say, a being who possesses a treasure without knowing its value, like a Central African negro who picks up one of M. Rothschild's cheque-books; a young man ignorant of his beauty or charms, who frets because the light down upon his chin has not turned into hideous bristles, a young man who awakes every morning full of hope, and artlessly asks himself what fortunate thing will happen to him to-day; who dreams, instead of living, because he is timid and poor.

One colony after another rose gradually into being. A large part of the old and the new settlers were under the charge of Baron Rothschild's administration, with the exception of two or three colonies which were maintained by the Palestine Society in Odessa.
