"'A hundred and six and a quarter to a hundred and five and seven-eighths. "'And New Zealand consolidated? "'A hundred and four. "'And British Broken Hills? "'Seven to seven-and-six. "'Wonderful! he cried, with his hands up. 'This quite fits in with all that I had heard. My boy, my boy, you are very much too good to be a clerk at Mawson's!
"Opened at seven-eighths, then 500 at three-quarters, another block at a half, 300 at a quarter why, it's on the toboggan!" "She must be found and warned at once," says Mr. Robert. "Am I the guy?" says I. "You are," says he. "And minutes may count. I'll get the address for you. It's in that " "Say," I throws over my shoulder on my way to the door, "whose aunt is this, anyway?"
Honest, he was scared stiff; but he didn't let anyone but me see it. Even a little thing like goin' down to Wall Street and lookin' up some securities gets him rattled. He hadn't been gone more'n an' hour 'fore he calls me up on the 'phone and says some broker's clerk has asked him if our concern don't want to bid on P. O. privileges at seven-eighths. "What are P. O. privileges?" says Mallory.
At the end of nine months a woman would be delivered a male child, which would be three parts man and one part god." At these words all the guests applauded, M. de Ximenes expressed his admiration of the way the question had been solved, adding, "Naturally, if the son of the woman married, his children would be seven-eighths men and one-eighth gods."
About six thousand miles of new railways were constructed in the United States in 1872, of which it may be estimated that at least seven-eighths were in advance of the national requirements. Not a few of those now unfinished or just completed will, like the New York and Oswego Midland, be forced into bankruptcy, and it will be long before all the ruins left by the crisis will be cleared away.
"The great majority of architects, painters, or writers have no principles, like any other Forsytes. Art, literature, religion, survive by virtue of the few cranks who really believe in such things, and the many Forsytes who make a commercial use of them. At a low estimate, three-fourths of our Royal Academicians are Forsytes, seven-eighths of our novelists, a large proportion of the press.
It only took me five minutes to make up my mind, for the simple reason that it was already seven-eighths on the way, this not being the first time by many a score that my father had given me his opinion respecting my future prospects in life; and as I neared twenty such opinions used to seem to grit in amongst my mental works, while the longer I lived the more I thought that I should never get my livelihood by soap-boiling.
He and Ivan Fitzgerald skinned and mounted it, and then dissected the carcass almost tissue by tissue. About seven-eighths of its body capacity was lungs; it certainly breathed air containing at least half enough oxygen to support human life, or five times as much as the air around Kukan. That took the center of interest away from archaeology, and started a new burst of activity.
I have measured these swords; that of a fair average size is three feet in the length of blade, and one inch and seven-eighths in breadth; the hilt, from the top of the guard to the extremity, five and a half inches. Thus the sword complete would be about three feet five or six inches. Such a weapon possesses immense power, as the edge is nearly as sharp as a razor.
The signal was distinct, but very faint indeed. And the rocket was then traveling so it was later computed at seven-eighths of the speed of light. Between the flat cone on the front of the distress-torpedo, and the flat cone on the ground, a field of force existed. The field was not on the back surface of the torpedo's cone, but before the front surface.
