Of course, some important things are still open and they have to be watched night and day but after all, Semple that's my Broker he could do it for me. At the most, it won't last more than another six weeks.
Thy grandfather is already gone " and she looked so pointedly down at her black petticoat and bodice, that Hyde answered "Yes; I see that you are in mourning. Is it for Mr. Franklin, or for Mr. Semple?" "Franklin was far off; by my fireside Alexander Semple often sat; and at my table often he ate. Good friends were we once good friends are we now; for all but Love, Death buries."
"I would that all our outlying monies were as safe," said Semple; "but here come the knights and squires forth from their tents. Tell me, Ninian, which o' the lads are your sister's sons."
Poor Semple was content to eat the bread of dependence, and then make boastful speeches of his former wealth and position. To tell of his wonderful schemes, and to abuse his luck and his false friends, and everything and everybody, but the real cause of his misfortune.
"I hear Mair and Todd and Semple are also entered, but with a decent handicap I won't mind these, even with their international reputation." "All right," said Robert.

Crossing the Sacramento again by swimming our horses, and ferrying their loads in that solitary canoe, we took our back track as far as the Napa, and then turned to Benicia, on Carquinez Straits. We found there a solitary adobe-house, occupied by Mr. Hastings and his family, embracing Dr. Semple, the proprietor of the ferry.

The rosy-gilled Bailie of Dumfries looked up at his friend with a quick expression of mingled hope and anxiety. "Does the Earl o' Douglas owe you ony siller?" he asked in a hushed whisper, "for if he does, I am willing to take over the debt for a consideration." "Nay," said Semple, "I only wish he did. The Douglases of the Black were never ill debtors.
