We shall have it in a private room, but you may as well dress if you've got the duds." "They're at my only forgiving relative's." "How much will get them out, and square you up, and bring you back bag and baggage in good time?" I had to calculate. "A tenner, easily." "I had one ready for you. Here it is, and I wouldn't lose any time if I were you.
THE DOCTOR: Brooklyn Public Institute, for the present. Poor handsome fellow! MISS HOAG: No, Doctor. No! No! No! MISS HOAG: No, no! I'll pay, Doctor. How much? How much? THE BARON: Yeh. I'll throw in a tenner myself. Don't throw the poor devil to charity. We'll collect from the troupe. We raised forty dollars for a nigger wild man, once when
I did not know what to call the family at first, so I asked him if he had any preference and what was the right thing, and he told me how I must hop up whenever he came in, and all that sort of child's play. There was a large party and some uncommonly pretty women. And I won a tenner off his Royal Highness, and here I am." "And what are you going to do now?"
I can't help trying to realize your sensations, but that doesn't prevent me from being very sorry for you, and I'm sure I shall be very pleased to help you. Do you want any money? Don't be shy about saying yes. I haven't forgotten how you helped me." "I really don't like to ask you, you've been very good as it is. However, if you could spare me a tenner?" "Of course I can.
"Yes, if you like!" and Charlemont laughed "I don't bet much, but I'll bet anything you choose to name on that. Maryllia Vancourt will never, unless she is bound, gagged and drugged into it, become Duchess of Ormistoune." "Shall we say a tenner?" suggested Courtenay, writing the bet down in his notebook. "Certainly." "Good! I take the other side. I know something of Roxmouth, he's seldom baffled.
"Wi' yer permission I'll leave him," M'Adam answered meekly. "I'm short o' the ready," the big man pursued, "or I wouldna part with him. Could I bide me time there's many'd be glad to give me a tenner for one o' that bree " he caught himself up hastily "for a dog sic as that." "And yet ye offer him me for a poun'! Noble indeed!"
He wore a sombrero with a rattlesnake for a band, and a belt with a couple of six-shooters, and described himself and claimed to be the Earl of Durham. "He touched me for a tenner the first time I ever saw him," drawled Mark to me, "and I coughed it up and have been coughing them up, whenever he's around, with punctuality and regularity."
"The idea of fighting her is ridiculous," Crawshay interrupted. "Look here, you haven't any time to lose. Send to the engineer and let him give it to them straight down below. I'll give a tenner apiece to the stokers, if we get clear, and if my advice turns out wrong, I'll see you through it, anyway."
As to money, well, so far as a fiver or even a tenner goes you can always look to me." Even in his chastened frame of mind, the noble miser could give us no information which could help us, for he knew little of the private life of his nephew. Our only clue lay in the truncated telegram, and with a copy of this in his hand Holmes set forth to find a second link for his chain.
Nothing can be more absurd than his make-up, his bows, his grimaces, and yet under the surface there is a vein of pathos that causes one to feel a pang of genuine regret when the poverty-stricken, light-hearted rogue, who, if he cannot secure a hundred guineas, is equally ready to accept a "tenner," is marched oft to penal servitude as the Curtain falls.
