"You would think," she began, quickly, "that with wealth, and being the fiancée of a noble young man like Mr. Garner, and so soon to marry him, that I was the happiest girl in the world." "Yes," returned the other, choking back a sob. "I was not always surrounded by wealth and affluence, as you see me now," commenced Jessie Staples, burying her head in her pillow.
Nails, staples, hinges, hammers, chisels, knives, scissors, and all sorts of tools and iron-work, they had without tale as they required; for no man would care to take more than he wanted, and he must be a fool that would waste or spoil them on any account whatever. And for the use of the smith I left two tons of unwrought iron for a supply.
Against the newcomers, profitable as they were, still existed the ancient antipathy of the resident for the nonresident.

DEAR MR. STAPLES I think my husband is quite right, and that to go to law would only make things much worse. It is very kind in you, but I really do not care about anything so long as I have my husband and children, and can feel that my dear uncle meant all that was kind. Indeed, I really think my husband enjoys the prospect of a new and more active kind of work.

"What is it like? How much is there? Good Sebastian, I'll give you water; I'll have you set free if you tell me." "How much? I don't know. But there is much pieces of Spanish gold, silver coins in casks and in little boxes the boxes are bound with iron and have hasps and staples; bars of precious metal and little paper packages of gems, all tied up and hidden in leather bags."
