The man who struck the fiercest, that sullen convict with the lowering brow, was our stock-jobber, John Dillaway.
"For God's sake," cried Clarence, "make no delay; the poor old man may be murdered by this time." "It's no business of mine," said the stock-jobber. "If Adolphus had not broken the rattle I would not have minded the trouble of springing it; but you are very much mistaken if you think I am going to leave my warm bed in order to have my throat cut."
With a rapid voice, Clarence repeated what he had seen, and requested the broker to accompany him to Talbot's house, or at least to lend him his pistols. "He shall do no such thing," cried Mrs. Copperas. "Come here, Mr. C., and shut the door directly." "Stop, my love," said the stock-jobber, "stop a moment."
A , who had enriched himself as a stock-jobber, turned up its nose at the family of Mr. B , who had enriched himself still more as a linen-draper, while the family of Mr. B showed a very cold shoulder to the family of Mr. C , who had become richer than either of them as a pawnbroker, and whose wife wore diamonds, but dropped her h's.
The London mansion and the Alhambra had both been disposed of, and well: the first to the new French Ambassador, and the second to a grey-headed stock-jobber, very rich, who, having no society, determined to make solitude amusing.
At the present day, the workman dines at two; the tradesman, at three; the clerk in a public office, at four; the rich upstart, the money-broker, the stock-jobber, the contractor, at five; the banker, the legislator, the counsellor of state, at six; and the ministers, in general, at seven, nay not unfrequently at eight.
Contenson would tell him for five hundred francs what Louchard wanted to see a thousand crowns for. The rapid calculation plainly proves that if the man's heart was in possession of love, his head was still that of the lynx stock-jobber.
A man of the name of Martin, by profession a stock-jobber, killed, in 1803, his own wife; and for twelve thousand livres he was acquitted, and recovered his liberty. In November last year, in a quarrel with his own brother, he stabbed him through the heart, and for another sum of twelve thousand livres he was acquitted, and released before last Christmas.
