"You won't get off under three hundred francs," said Rogron, who could remember the different prices, and add them up from his former shop-keeping habit. "Three hundred francs!" cried Sylvie. "Yes, three hundred. Add it up." The brother and sister went over the calculation once more, and found the cost would be fully three hundred francs, not counting the making.
If my father peace be upon him hadn't had your narrow notions, I should have gone to the Bar instead of being condemned to shop-keeping. 'You are a very good devil's advocate now, retorted the minister. Simeon Samuels stroked his beard. 'Thank you. And I congratulate your client. 'And mine too. The minister strode into the shop. At the street-door he turned.
Volodia had undertaken, in the intervals of shop-keeping, to teach little Daria how to count; with the elaborate arrangement of small coloured balls, on a wire frame like a gridiron, with which he added up his own sums instead of pencil and paper. They sat down side by side with the utmost gravity.
His brother gone, though not so far away that he did not often revisit the old home, friendly Flaxman in Italy, but more inaccessible there than Robert in the heaven which lay above this man in his perpetual infancy, the bas-bleus reinclosed in the charmed circle in which Blake had so riotously disported himself, a small attempt at partnership, shop-keeping, and money-making, wellnigh "dead before it was born," the poet began to think of publishing.

As a general rule, Providence seldom vouchsafes to mortals any more than just that degree of encouragement which suffices to keep them at a reasonably full exertion of their powers.
Behind the milliner's was a drawing-room, behind the cheese shop a kitchen; these two rooms communicated with each other by a large dark room at the back of the building. In the kitchen was a trap-door leading to a cellar. The two women shared a bedroom in an adjoining house. Vitalis had opposed the scheme of his mistress to start shop-keeping in Marseilles.
But the handsom Shop-keeping is the surest and pleasurablest; for every moment you get new customers as well from abroad as at home, who buy continually with ready mony; or otherwise pay the old score, and trust the new. Yea all the news that goes about the City, is brought home and imparted to you. There's not a man dies, or woman brought to bed, but you have knowledge of it.
As to the former, they were not wholly without justification, for nearly all the English discussions of the "American Crisis" which we have seen have shown far more of the shop-keeping spirit than of interest in the maintenance of free institutions; but in regard to the latter they made the fatal mistake of believing our Buchanans, Cushings, and Touceys to be representative men.
