Sherlock Holmes," said Peters, who had followed us into the room. "Who is the dead woman?" "Well, if you really must know, she is an old nurse of my wife's, Rose Spender by name, whom we found in the Brixton Workhouse Infirmary.

He exhibited the roll of money that was nothing, four times that much could be had from the same source. He was a spender, too, and treated all his friends liberally. Lemuel was to see if there was any wine in the damned jumping-off place; and when would they all go to Atlantic? "Never," Doret repeated. Bowman laughed skeptically.
I believe it is morally wrong to spend on myself money which I have not earned; consequently I can spend only what I conceive to be a reasonable return for my services.

"Old Waterman's quite a spender, too, when it comes to that," the Major went on. "He told me once that it cost him five thousand dollars a day for his ordinary expenses.

We got a car'dge here " "A carriage?" "A victori'," emphasized Tommy. "A victoria! All this on three bucks, Tommy! Well, well! You are the spender, though." "Here's our victori'!" said Tommy proudly. They halted abruptly before an open carriage ... a victoria, indeed: a handsome double victoria, all polished dark wood and blue upholstery and shining nickeled harness, and sleek bay horses.

"'Nashville' they call him; Ed's the name he give the hospital: Cory him that I soaked the night you come back to Canaan. He's after Claudine to git his evens with me. He's made a raise somewheres, and plays the spender. And her well, I reckon she's tired waitin' table at the National House; tired o' me, too. I got a hint that they're goin' out to the Beach together this afternoon."
He was to take them back to Hamburg, or throw them overboard, or sink the Fanny and take to her boats, according to circumstances. But in London, instead of Crawford, Spender found the Hamburg skipper and packer, who told him of Crawford's escape from Langeland with the loss of the ship's papers.
"Hello, sport," he said, smiling wantonly, "could you take a pore feller in over night?" "Sure thing, I can," responded Hardy gayly. "Where've you been all the time?" And Creede chanted: "Down to Bender, On a bender, Oh, I'm a spender, You bet yer life! "And I'm broke, too," he added, sotto voce, dropping off his horse and sinking into a chair.
