It was a bum room with a sick kid in it. But you ought to have seen him go for the bread and tincture of formaldehyde. Half-starved, I guess. Then she prayed some. Don't get stuck up, tenner. We one-spots hear ten prayers, where you hear one. She said something about 'who giveth to the poor. Oh, let's cut out the slum talk. I'm certainly tired of the company that keeps me.
Don't I know that you don't know; or you wouldn't come to me. You guess. You're always a-guessing. And because you know how to guess, they pays you for guessing. But guessing ain't knowing. You don't know; nor yet don't I. What is it to be, if I find out where that young woman is?" "A tenner, Billy." "Five quid now, and five when you've seen her." "All right, Billy."
Did you bet with the rest?" his cousin asked. "I lost my tenner; but what's that!" "There will be an additional five to hand over to the man Sedgett. What's that!" "No, hang it!" Algernon shouted. "You've paid your ten for the shadow cheerfully. Pay your five for the substance." "Do you mean to say that Sedgett " Algernon stared.
If a fiver isn't enough for you, make it a tenner, but keep her going where I put her." Rowsell obeyed but his face grew darker. He leaned towards his passenger. "What's your game?" he demanded hoarsely. "There's some of them on the island'd have me by the throat if they only knew the things I could tell 'em. What's your game here, eh? Are you on the cross?"
Hartley, I can do you as fine a job in that line as anybody in the city. It will be only $7 a day and expenses. Can send in a daily typewritten report, covering " "You needn't go on," interrupted the broker. "It isn't a case of that kind. I merely wanted the address. How much shall I pay you?" "One day's work," said the sleuth. "A tenner will cover it." Hartley paid the man and dismissed him.
I'm sorry I can't come an' stay a month. Some other time, perhaps." The gentleman went in, and slammed the gate behind him. Nickie returned to the heap, and picked up his coat and donned it. "I'm handing in my resignation, Mr. McGuire," he said. "You are welcome to my earnings, as I intend to live on my means temporary at least." He held up the note. "A tenner!" gasped McGuire.
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.
You know I am no 'knocker, but I would rather have my 'tenner' than that slip of baby-blue paper." Tavia did not answer. She was beginning to feel the consequences of her error. She never could stand being thus obligated to Nat and she a guest at his house! Her humiliation was crushing. Nat had never spoken to her that way before. The ride home was made with little conversation.
"Ah! then I'll drive Mademoiselle. Wish I had a tenner for every time I've driven an Aigle! You can sit inside, in case there's work to do." My eyes opened widely, but I said nothing. I glanced at Jack, and saw his face harden. "I have been told to drive the car, and it is my duty to drive it unless I receive different orders," said he. "I'm giving you different orders," said Bertie.
Freddie, old scout, we were at school together. Your mother likes me. You owe me a tenner." He sat down again. "Oh, well," he said resignedly. "Besides, old top," I said, "I did it all for your sake, don't you know?" He looked at me in a curious way. "Reggie," he said, in a strained voice, "one moment. I'll stand a good deal, but I won't stand for being expected to be grateful."
