He produced another from the back of his neck, and laid it beside its predecessor on the counter. Gip regarded his glass ball sagely, then directed a look of inquiry at the two on the counter, and finally brought his round-eyed scrutiny to the shopman, who smiled. "You may have those two," said the shopman, "and, if you don't mind one from my mouth. So!"
I've not enough imagination left to find the right thing, the thing it takes feeling and not money to buy. When I look for a present nowadays I never say to the shopman: 'I want this or that' I simply say: 'Give me something that costs so much." She drew a parcel from her muff. "Where's the victim of my vulgarity? Let me crush him under the weight of my gold." Mrs.
The shopman offered several articles, for which he demanded prices amounting in all to ninety-three francs. His wary customer rapidly computed the total and replied "Without words, now, I'll give you a hundred francs for the lot." With a pensive elevation of the eyebrows, and a reluctant shrug of the shoulders, the shopman suffered him to take them. Your Venetian is simpatico, if he is any thing.
"Do you want only one of these?" asked the old gentleman. "Mamma said only one," said Ellen; "that will last me all the winter." "Well," said he, "I think two will be better. Let us have another off the same piece, Mr. Shopman." "But I am afraid Mamma won't like it, Sir," said Ellen, gently. "Pooh, pooh," said he, "your mother has nothing to do with this; this is my affair."
He owned he had been shopman to a haberdasher; but thinking his person and talents ought not to be thrown away upon trade, and being also a little behindhand, he had taken to the stage with a view of making his fortune; that he had married Miss Bragwell entirely for love, and was sorry to mention so paltry a thing as money, which he despised, but that his wants were pressing: his landlord, to whom he was in debt, having been so vulgar as to threaten to send him to prison.
Tomkins, who had looked up very angrily on being jostled so unceremoniously, started and changed colour when he saw the face of the offender. "Saints in heaven!" he murmured almost audibly, "what a look of that woman; and yet no it is gone!" "Who is that gentleman?" he asked abruptly, as he paid for his book. The shopman smiled, but answered, "I don't know, sir." "That's a lie!
At last he stammered angrily: "I don't know what you 'ave to do with it, but if you're one of their friends, you can tell 'em from me that I'll knock their silly 'eads off, parsons or no parsons, if they upset my apples again." "Indeed?" asked the detective, with great sympathy. "Did they upset your apples?" "One of 'em did," said the heated shopman; "rolled 'em all over the street.
Nina was very merry and vivacious on this sufficiently bright forenoon; and to please Estelle she was talking French her French being fluent enough, if it was not quite perfect as to accent. They were passing along Piccadilly, when she stopped at a certain shop. "Come, I show you something," she said. Estelle followed her in. The moment the shopman saw who it was he did not wait to be questioned.
"It is always well, my boy, to know what a thing is worth, in case one wishes to part with it. If my young gentleman gets tired of his plaything, what will you give him for it?" "Why, sir," said the shopman, "I fear we could not afford to give more than eighteen shillings for it, unless the young gentleman took some of these pretty things in exchange."
Lupin," he said to the notary, who came out with him to order his horse, "try to make sure that Madame Sarcus hears all the Shopman says and does against us at the Prefecture." "If she doesn't hear it, who will?" replied Lupin. "Excuse me," said Rigou, smiling blandly, "but there are such a lot of ninnies in there that I forgot there was one clever man."
