I'm sorry you fellows were let in though; I can't understand it; although" with a rueful laugh "I suppose it was my fault with that tenner. Yet, I must say, I noticed the man as he galloped past, and saw no, signs of anything wrong." "Nor I," put in Vermont. "I was in the weighting-room, and saw him scaled. He was all right then. He always was white and seedy-looking. I saw nothing wrong."
The fact is, me boy, coming away in a hurry from me little place, I left me purse on the drawers in the bedroom, and here's Jorrocks up in the billiard-room afther challenging me to play for a tenner but I won't without having the money in me pocket.
"Five's no use," said Cripps, contemptuously, "wouldn't pay not the interest. You'll have to make it a tenner, young gentleman." "Don't say that, Cripps, I'd gladly do it if I could; I'd pay you every farthing, and so I will if you only wait." "That's just the way with you young swells. You get your own ways, and leave other people to get theirs best way they can. Where's your five-pound?"
"Anything extra for keeping mum at home?" the young man ventured tentatively. "You're a nice sort of nephew to have!" Francis declared. "Abandon these futile attempts at blackmail and just come this way to the writing-table." "You've got the tenner with you?" the young man asked anxiously. Francis produced a well-filled pocketbook.
And if you want money, Will's flush, he 'll lend you a 'tenner. You know there won't be any fun in it unless you 're there! We 'll get the last boat back to-night, or the first in the morning." A letter from his mother lay in Edgar's pocket, a letter which had brought something like tears to his eyes for a moment, and over which he had vowed better things.
I didn't mind his going to dinners and minstrels, of course, but when they spoke of being out until after midnight, or to-morrow morning, and when one beetle-browed, vulgar-looking creature offered to lend him a 'tenner, I thought of the mortgage on the Noble ranch, and the trouble there would be if Edgar should get into debt, and I felt I must do something to stop him, especially as he said himself that everything depended on his next examinations."
Utterly absorbed in the work in hand, Boy, as always, was unaware of them because she was entirely forgetful of herself. "Yes," she said simply. The old man turned to the gypsy. "What ye want?" he asked. "She's yours for a tenner, sir." He stiffened his lips. Boy walked sedately past her father. "Pound a leg," she said quietly in his ear. "Four pound," said the old man, firmly.
He had just won a tenner on a horse of that name. "Cato!" Dartie had replied they were a little 'on' as the phrase was even in those days "it's not a Christian name." "Halo you!" George called to a waiter in knee breeches. "Bring me the Encyc'pedia Brit. from the Library, letter C." The waiter brought it.
So that if a chestnut was a fiver, and it beat a tenner, it became at one leap a fifteener. In something the same way Gould had an idea he might score by Crawley, who was thought so much of for his proficiency in many things.
An English tenner, though; that's odd!" he added carelessly, and then slipped the cash loose into his pocket, with the air of a man for whom money is at best a temporary possession. The Grangers and Mr. Fairfax went on meeting in society; and Daniel Granger, with whom it was a kind of habit to ask men to dinner, could hardly avoid inviting George Fairfax.
