"Then you are not apt to lose great bargains such as I lost for the want of $25." "It's a good idea," returned the lieutenant. "And you live up to it, I suppose?" "I do," returned the oculist, tapping his pocket significantly. "Always!" "Then," said the lieutenant, earnestly, "I wish you'd lend me a tenner, for really, doctor, I have gone clean broke."
He stretched his limbs tentatively. "No, there's nothing broken. I feel a bit buzzy in the head, that's all." He tried to lift himself up, but Ann pressed him back against her knees. "Don't move! Don't move!" she cried hastily. "Lie still for a few minutes. Are you sure sure you're not hurt?" "Bet you a tenner I'm not," he replied, with the ghost of a grin. "My head's clearing, too.
He pitied the street-sweepers, and wondered if it were possible for him to slip down into the gutter. "When I have paid my hotel bill, I shan't have a tenner." He thought of Mrs. Byril, but the idea did not please him, and he remembered Frank had told him he had a cottage on the river. He would go there. He might put up for a night or two at Hall's. "I will start a series of articles to-morrow.
"The Sidney Club," Captain Bannister repeated, with dignity. "The club in question may not be very large, but it is quite well known, and I had the misfortune to act as Mr. Bundercombe's sponsor there." I glanced toward my prospective father-in-law. He nodded. "They put me up for some sort of a pothouse," he admitted, "and I handed over a tenner, I think it was, for my subscription.
"What's the game?" "Never mind there's a tenner in it for you if it works." "Then I'm on, Bill." "Hush my name is Henry Davis." "All right, Hank," returned Foxy, carelessly. He came forward and was introduced to the old farmer in the following fashion: "Mr. Richard Barlow of Barlow & Small, manufacturers."
Buckley, who was something indefinite in a bank, presently ventured on a bit of blacksmith work, and being, by reason of hopeless impecuniosity, not worth lenient treatment, got a tenner hard. About the same time, Miss Buckley then a singularly handsome young lady became a veritable heroine of romance.
There he shook hands with Tom, whom he had known for some months, and having made three successive offers one to stand immediately an unlimited quantity of champagne, a second to play him five hundred up for anything he would name, and a third to lay a tenner for him at 7 to 4 on Amelia for the Oaks all of which offers were declined with thanks he bowed himself out, leaving a vague memory of smiles, shirt collars, and gaiters in the minds of the awe-struck Clerks.
Sometimes it's possible to help one team or another along on the quiet. I'd like to know what Newt Copley thinks of the Barville nine. I'd depend on his judgment. I've got a tenner I'd like to set to work to double itself." "You always have plenty of money," said Roy enviously. "I never had ten whole dollars at one time in my life."
I poured myself out a cup of cold coffee, and, avoiding the bacon and eggs, which lay embalmed in frozen grease, began to lunch off bread and marmalade. "I'll do it," he burst out when he had finished. "It's a sweat a fearful sweat, but "Skeffington's have written urging me to undertake a rather original advertising scheme. They're very pressing, and they've enclosed a tenner in advance.
"Only negative information. I'm not Lady Befnal. She disapproves dreadfully of any form of gambling, so when I recognised a well-known book maker in the hotel lobby I went and put a tenner on an unnamed filly by William the Third out of Mitrovitza for the three-fifteen race. I suppose the fact of the animal being nameless was what attracted me." "Did it win?" asked Jerton.
