"What competition was that?" asked Sheen. Mr Bevan laughed. "It was a twenty-round contest, sir, for seven-fifty aside and the Light Weight Championship of the World." Sheen looked at him in astonishment. He had always imagined professional pugilists to be bullet-headed and beetle-browed to a man. He was not prepared for one of Mr Joe Bevan's description.
I bet yer, Abe, we could get it for forty-eight seven-fifty three thousand cash above the mortgages." "I suppose, Mawruss, you got three thousand lying loose around your pants' pocket. What?" "Three thousand to a firm like us is nothing, Abe. I bet yer I could go in and see Feder of the Kosciusko Bank and get it for the asking. We ain't so poor, Abe, but what we can buy a bargain when we see it."
Nothing was stolen anywhere in the house and there was no papers in a mess like, or anything." "When was he found?" asked Ned. "Seven-fifty this morning, sir," said Bisset. "The housemaid finding the door lockit came to me. I knew the dining-room key fitted this door too, so I opened it and there he lay." "All night, without any one knowing he hadn't gone to bed?"
I had not seen Vane all that day. So soon as I had changed my clothes I left my dressing-room to seek him. The box-office keeper, meeting me, put a note into my hand. It was short and to the point. Vane had pocketed the evening's takings, and had left by the seven-fifty train!
"No, sir; we shall pay for the drum heads. To whom does the drum belong?" "The drummer, I think." "Very well; thank you." Phil hastily withdrew from the cabin and hurried back to his own stateroom. "Teddy," he said, "I want seven-fifty from you." "What's that?" "Seven dollars and a half, please." Teddy began pawing over his trousers. All at once he paused, looking up at Phil suspiciously.
Rose, at the oven, turned a flushed and interested face toward Floss. "Who? What's that? A hat?" "Yes. But listen " "Let's see it." Floss whipped it out of its bag, defiantly. "There! But wait a minute! Let me tell you " "How much?" Floss hesitated just a second. Her wage was nine dollars a week. Then, "Seven-fifty, trimmed."
I could take the item of shirts alone that had to be made to order and cost seven-fifty each, to say nothing of collars and ties and suits from what Clyde said was the only tailor in New York that could dress a gentleman so he looked like one. She said if these funny humourists could see what they spent on her clothes and what they had to spend on Clyde's, she bet they'd feel mighty cheap.
Reckoning all the mortgages and everything, and what I invested and paid out for building material over and above the building loan, that house stands me in just eleven thousand two hundred and fifty dollars cash. If I would come out even on that house I got to sell it for forty-five seven-fifty, and I reckoned on forty-seven thousand as a fair price for the house."
It was a terrible extravagance; much like marrying a sick woman on a salary of ten a week, he reflected; nine-teen minus eleven-fifty left him only seven-fifty for clothes and savings and things and but " I'll take it," he said, hastily. He was frightened at himself, but glad, very glad.
There accompanied him the Lady Alexandra, wearing the identical ruby necklace that every night for the past six months, and twice on Saturdays, "John Strongheart" had been falsely accused of stealing. Lord Mount-Primrose, together with Sir Francis Baldwin, dashed up in a hansom at seven-fifty. His Lordship, having lost the toss, paid the fare. The Hon.
