A few days, however, before the opening of this history, fine weather having commenced, the horrible disease began to grow more rife, and laughing all precautions and impediments to scorn, broke out in the very heart of the stronghold namely, in Bearbinder-lane, near Stock's Market, where nine persons died.
Elmour would always permit her to consider him as her best friend, to whose advice she should have recourse in preference to that of any person upon earth;" recovering her assurance as she went on speaking, and recollecting some of the hints Lady Stock had given her, about the envy and jealousy of the Elmours, and of their scheme of monopolizing her fortune; she added a few commonplace phrases about respectability gratitude and great obligations then gave a glance at Lady Stock's handsome carriage, which was waiting at the door then asked for Miss Elmour and hoped she should not be so unfortunate as to miss seeing her before she left the country, as she came on purpose to take leave of her then looked at her watch: but all this was said and done with the awkwardness of a novice in the art of giving herself airs.
Those who liked substantial goods went all of them to Stock's, for they said Brown's heel-taps did not last a week; his new boots let in water; and they believed he made his soles of brown paper. Besides, it was thought by most, that this promising all, and keeping his word with none, hurt his business as much as any thing.
He still gave God the glory of every thing he did aright: and when Will Simpson one day said to him, "Master, I wish I were half as good as you are." "Hold, William," answered he gravely, "I once read in a book, that the devil is willing enough we should appear to do good actions, if he can but make us proud of them." But we must not forget our other old acquaintance, Mr. Stock's fellow 'prentice.
At first he had refused to accept this, but Bob Hart had put the matter to him in such a light that he changed his mind. "The oil business pays big for expert advice, no matter whether it's legal or technical. What you did was worth fifty times what the board voted you. If we make a big strike you've saved the company. If we don't the stock's not worth a plugged nickel anyhow.
The price reflects expectations regarding the future value of the firm and the stock's future stream of income i.e., dividends. Alas, none of these oft-recited dogmas bears any resemblance to reality. Shares rarely represent ownership. The float the number of shares available to the public is frequently marginal. Shareholders meet once a year to vent and disperse.
A fine method to make Punch of Valentia dram. v. page 7. Ten thousand pounds, now in Sir Thomas Stock's my banker's hands as a token of remembrance to John Hodgkinson of Hull, on account of his being my namesake, and, I believe, relation John Hodgkinson, grazier & so forth. Now it happened, that Mr.
"That's the boy!" said old Jim Hess, with satisfaction, gripping his hand again. "Your stock's par with me, remember, and I want you to consider me your friend, even if I am to be a relation by marriage." Shortly afterward Sheila and Farwell arrived on hard-ridden horses. "She hustled me right over here," said the latter. "Didn't even give me time to shave.
One evening Simpson had been calling to Stock's mind how disorderly the house and shop, where they were now sitting quietly at work, had formerly been, and he went on thus: Will. How comfortably we live now, master, to what we used to do in Williams's time! I used then never to be happy but when we were keeping it up all night, but now I am as Merry as the day is long.
Stock's heart nearly failed him as he passed through the prison. The groans of the sick and dying, and, what to such a heart as his was still more moving, the brutal merriment of the healthy in such a place, pierced his very soul. The jailor observed him drop a tear, and asked the cause. "I can not forget," said he, "that the most dissolute of these men is still my fellow creature.
