"There's no saying what good fortune may be in store for us," observed Bax; "but put away the gold, it will do us no good to gaze at it." Harry rolled the little heap in a piece of paper, and tossed it into the leathern bag which contained their earnings. "Come now," said he, replenishing his pipe, "let's hear the letter, Bax, who d'ye say's the friend you've written to?"
I want to see her married to Lord Warburton." "You had better wait till he asks her." "If what you say's true, he'll ask her. Especially," said Madame Merle in a moment, "if you make him." "If I make him?" "It's quite in your power. You've great influence with him." Isabel frowned a little. "Where did you learn that?" "Mrs. Touchett told me. Not you never!" said Madame Merle, smiling.
Will you let me love you, Loo, as my wife?" The girl shrank away from him nervously. Perhaps the fact of being in a buggy recalled her rides with George; or the caress brought home to her the difference between the two men. However that may be, when she answered, it was with full self-possession: "I guess what you say's about right, and I like you. But I don't want to marry anyway not yet.
What is it?" said Nat, who was betrayed into eagerness by the idea that perhaps his brother had a pot of money hidden away in the thatch. "Perhaps I'd better not let you have it. You're proud enough as it is." "You can do as you like with it, of course," said Nat, with assumed indifference. "Ah, well, it will be useful to you, if what you say's true about me.
"Ay, there's some of that sort most ways to be found. But 'tis a mad thing to do." "None so mad, perhaps," put in another. "They say he's the cleverest of them all." "I doubt but Kohiseva'll be one too clever for him. And the other who's he?" "Why, didn't you know? There he is standing over there; Olof, they say's his name." "That one? He looks a sight too fine for a lumberman at all."
The talent must not be measured by the gain, but rather the gain by the talent; for it may happen, that, notwithstanding his merit, the physician in question will gain nothing at all, in which case will it be necessary to conclude that his talent or fortune is equivalent to zero? To such a result, however, would Say's reasoning lead; a result which is clearly absurd.
I've got money in the bank about, two thousand here in gold dust with me, and if what you say's true, Grim, about me still being a trooper, then the Army owes me three years' back pay, and I'll have it or go to Buckingham Palace and tear off a piece of the King! We're capitalists, by Jupiter!
But to get back to my story. Well, say's I, how's times with you, Mrs. Spry? Dull, says she, very dull, there's no markets now, things don't fetch nothin.
No doubt my brother-in-law has made a little money." "A pot of it, if all they say's true." "But all they say isn't true. All they say never is true." "I suppose he's got something?" "Yes, he's got something." "And how is it to be?" "He's given the girl four hundred pounds on the nail," upon this Mr. Juniper turned up his nose, "and fifty pounds for her wedding-clothes."
