"So that's his game, huh?" said the bartender. "How's th' gink in number four?" "Dead t' th' world." "Tip th' Sneak. There may be a chancet t' roll 'em both. Here y' are. Soak 'im two-fifty."

"Yes, sir." "Well, there you are. The buckskin will cost you two-fifty and so will the black. You can have any of the rest for two hundred and they're cheap hosses at that." "Lead them out."
'It's no joke, Eugénie, this sipping business Where were we? Oh, well, of course I knew we should have to take it and I don't say I'm not pleased with it. But two hundred! 'Not a penny less, said Eugénie 'and the apotheosis of my frock alone is worth the money. Two hundred for that and two-fifty for the other?

"Well, I want to go," pursued Miss Thornton, "but Wally's in Los Angeles." Wally was Miss Thornton's "friend." "What would it cost us, Thorny?" "Two-fifty." "Gosh," said Susan thoughtfully.

You belong in steam. A second mate's berth waiting for you. In a year you will be first mate of steam; a year later you will be master of steam, at two-fifty a month, and I will have a four-million-foot freighter waiting for you if you make good. The picture was a bully joke; but I could not laugh, Matt. It is so long since I was a boy. Cappy. "Send that right away, like a good girl," he ordered.
He had fine prospects iv ivinchooly bein' promoted to two-fifty a day, but she was heiress to a cellar full iv Monongahela rye an' a pool table, an' her parents objicted, because iv th' diffrence in their positions. But love such as his is not to be denied. Th' bold suitor won. Together they eloped an' were marrid. "F'r a short time all wint well.

He wished he could collect the two-fifty he had paid for it. He read aloud, sneeringly: "Caviar toast, garnished. Crab, scalloped, in shell. Aspic in jelly. Fondu of cheese. Floating Island.
Let me see if I've been robbed." He opened the safe and took out a package of banknotes. "Don't believe I've been robbed. Rather singular, too," he went on, counting the money. "Two hundred, you said. Better take two-fifty you need some clothes. Pardon me for being so keen an observer. It really escaped my notice until this moment.
"Don't you think we could make it do?" she asked him, and he could see that she had mentally saved five hundred dollars as the difference between the rent of their house and that of this flat. "It has some very pretty features, and we could manage to squeeze in, couldn't we?" "You won't find another furnished flat like it for no two-fifty a month in the whole city," the superintendent put in.
