The baby was a darling a six-months' old beauty with little golden ringlets curling and glistening all over its tiny head. As Miss Rosetta hung over it, it opened its eyes and then held out its tiny hands to her with a gurgle of confidence. "Oh, you sweetest!" said Miss Rosetta rapturously, gathering it up in her arms. "You belong to me, darling never, never, to that under-handed Charlotte!
I've told you that your share is to be a million." "One thirtieth?" said London Bill, with the ring of complaint in his voice. "One thirtieth," returned Storri with emphasis. "Where else can you get one million for ten weeks' digging and a six-months' cruise in a yacht? Besides, there will be a dozen others to share; to say nothing of the yacht, and what it costs to coal her and buy her stores.
Every man should lay up a six-months' doctor's bill, just as every man should lay up money enough to keep his body out of Potter's Field. It's laying up the SURPLUS that hurts." Peter had his arm firmly locked in mine now. "Now that concern of Breen & Company, where I found my error, are no better than the others. They are new to this whirlpool, but they will soon get in over their heads.
He scamped, too, his six-months' attempt at digging he had been no more fit for the work than a child. Worn to skin and bone, his small remaining strength sucked out by dysentery, he had in the end bartered his last pinch of gold-dust for a barrow-load of useful odds and ends; and this had formed the nucleus of his store.
Seventeen years is a long time, and only one year and one six-months at home! Oh, I do feel so much happier since you have spoken so to me even though it makes me rather frightened about papa. It would be terrible for his health to fail. 'We must make him take it in time, said Lady Myrtle cheerfully. 'I don't think there is any cause for immediate anxiety.
The perfect flower of its unloveliness flourishes in San Francisco, and, more or less hardily, all along the coast. From the time the rains cease generally some time in May through the six-months' period of their cessation, the programme for the day is, with but few exceptions, unvaried.
"The young gentleman's a real knowing one, sir. Now, the fact is, this 'ere hoss is just pulled down with over-work in the cabs; he's not an old one, and I heard as how the vetenary said that a six-months' run off would set him right up, being as how his wind was not broken.
A six-months' longer experience of the country only confirmed my sister and myself in the conviction that we had in every way made a most desirable change when we quitted London for our small farm; but if we had been too fine or too indolent to look after our dairy and poultry-yard, I believe that our milk, butter, eggs, poultry, and pork, would have cost us quite as much as we could have purchased them for in town.
Wild, devilish-looking beasts are they; not such shapes as Jove might have chosen to woo a goddess, nor such as peacefully range the downs of Devon, but lean and hungry Cassius-like bovines, economically got up to meet the exigencies of a six-months' rainless climate, and accustomed to wrestle with the distracting wind and the blinding dust.
When any man of Europe has a proposal of business too big for the European mouth wearing its self-imposed half-muzzle of conservatism that promoter and his proposal head for America. It was this which gained Washington the advantage of a visit from Storri; his stop in Canada being a six-months' stay in Ottawa was only preliminary to his coming here.
