And that is something the Laguna Grande Lumber Company does not view with favour, for the reason that one of these bright days those Trinidad people will come to their senses and sell cheap to us.

"General, the first soldier we meet will light us." "No," said Monk, in order to discover if there were not any connivance between the Comte de la Fere and the fisherman. "No, I should prefer one of these French sailors who came this evening to sell me their fish.
Once when her husband was away, she told Joe to kill and dress one of the pigs, sell it, and get her some tea, sugar, &c. Joe did as he was bid, and she gave him the offal for his services. When Galloway returned, not suspecting his wife, he asked her if she knew what had become of his pig.
He did not yet know so Laura gathered with whom he was really treating. The Whinthorpe agent had talked vaguely of "a Manchester gentleman," and Helbeck had not troubled himself to inquire further. When they were married, would he still sell all that he had, and give to the poor in the shape of orphanages and reformatories?
I dare say you have heard I cheated in clocks I never did. I have sold a fellow one for five pounds that cost me one; skill did that. Let him send to London, and get one of Barraud's, as father did, for twenty-five pounds sterling. Will it keep better time? I guess not. Is that a case of sell?

Then Mr. Hastings had replied to her, "I have no money, Alice, to go home with, not a cent. I borrowed ten dollars of Earle to-day to buy some fruit for you." That was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The next day there came a letter from their lawyer saying that a messenger from the bank had called upon him that he was sorry they had spent all their money that he could not sell the stock he held at any price now and they had better sell their house in the country and board. This Mrs. Allen was inclined to do, but Edith said almost fiercely: "I won't sell it.
"I keep them," he replied, "partly because I am fond of them, and partly for what they bring me in; they make me a great deal of honey, some of which I sell, and with a little I make some mead to warm my poor heart with, or occasionally to treat a friend with like yourself." "And do you support yourself entirely by means of your bees?"
"Have you any means, or any way of making your expenses while you are looking for work?" was the next question. "No sir, I have no money, and only want to get work. I have a friend at the next town whom I am quite certain would help me if I could only find him." "Have you anything about you that you could sell if you got into a pinch?" again asked the man.
He was glad that the sled had not passed before the coming of the moose. The moose had changed his plans. Its meat was worth fifty cents a pound, and he was but little more than three miles from Minto. He need no longer wait for the sled-load of life. The moose was the sled-load of life. He would sell it.
