'Well, sir, returned that personage, 'the fact is, he has given me another look-in, to make sure of what he calls our stock-in-trade being correct, and he has mentioned his intention that he was not to be put off beginning with you the very next time you should come. And this, hinted Mr Venus, delicately, 'being the very next time, you know, sir
Histrionics were her stock-in-trade: she was eternally playing a part, and playing it with such zest that she habitually cheated her neighbours, and occasionally, for the time being, even herself, into forgetting that her role was merely assumed for ulterior purposes.
Carrying in his hand a large number of small coffee-cups, fitted one within another, he strikes them together like a string of castanets, while in the left hand he bears a portable stove-like article on which rests his tin or copper kettle. His entire stock-in-trade, including the ground coffee in his kettle, does not as a rule exceed five rupees in value.
"They find me fault with her where I default ne'er find, * Save haply that a speck in either eye may show: But if her eyes have fault, of fault her form hath none, * Slim-built above the waist and heavily made below." And this is also told of Quoth the Cufite, "I see thou wouldst keep the whole of the stock-in-trade to thyself; give me my share of it."
The equestrian group had been easy enough himself mounted on Sidi Habismilk, with the swift Jew and the Gypsy at his side but the life of a man was a different matter. Nor was the task eased by his exceptional memory. He claimed, as has been seen, to remember the look of the viper seen in his third year. Later, in "Lavengro," he meets a tinker and buys his stock-in-trade to set himself up with.
I to assign to you two-thirds of the property of the invention. You to advance stock-in-trade bearing interest, but having no claim on me for any part of that, further than my intromissions; the stock itself to be your security and property.
"And your proposition?" demanded Madden sharply. "An assurance that the mine will be worked; ten per cent of the total number of shares in my name; a further assurance of exemption from assessment for ten years; and a little bonus." Madden used his stock-in-trade laugh again. It was well that he made use of it when he did; else he would not have been able to summon it up from his paralysed throat.
Bringing forth strange-looking phials, covered with cabalistic signs, a crystal globe and an astro-labe, followed by an imposing scroll of parchment inscribed with mysterious Hebraic-looking characters, the travelling student would probably drive a roaring trade amongst the assembled townsmen in love-philtres, cures for the ague and the plague, and amulets against them, horoscopes, predictions of fate, and the rest of his stock-in-trade.
And then he asked that we might be made faithful and worthy of God, whose battle it was. Then we all stood up and shook hands with him in silence, and every man knew a covenant was being made. But none saw his meeting with Nixon. He sent us all away before that. Nothing was heard of the destruction of the hotel stock-in-trade.
The perspicacity of the young man it is a part of a Prince's stock-in-trade had taken him by surprise. "I am an old man," he faltered, "unversed in affairs of State. If it be true, however, that the Lord Jermyn...." "Our mother's trusted councillor, Mr. Rector! What of my Lord Jermyn? Thou hast not said enough or, by God! thou hast said too much."
