It says in so many words that any improvements we make will not be considered when the land is appraised and that's the same thing, isn't it? The unimproved land is worth two-fifty an acre; only timber land is worth more and there's none too much timber about here." "Well, one thing at a time," said Harran.
How much?" he asked. "Two-fifty." He laid down the money. "Never mind the box. They are for you. Good evening." The girl stared at the flowers as Ali Baba must have stared at the cask with rubies. "For me!" she whispered. "For nothing!" Her eyes blurred. She never saw Hawksley again; but that was of no importance. She had a gentle deed to put away in the lavender of recollection.
Then, very slowly, he put one hand in his pocket and drew out the whole bundle of money. It looked opulent, it looked fulsome. "'Savinien, he said. 'I will do even more than you ask. Two-fifty, is it not? See, now, here is five hundred, and I will toss you whether I pay you five hundred or nothing." "He balanced a coin on his thumb-nail, and smiled at me sidelong.
But I didn't say I'd let you carry off the improvements, nor that I'd go on renting the farm at two-fifty. The land is doubled in value, it don't matter how; it don't enter into the question; an' now you can pay me five hundred dollars a year rent, or take it on your own terms at fifty-five hundred, or git out."
"It is whispered that they are off this coast." "We overheard this Blake and a man who I'm sure is captain of that oil boat talking in a restaurant to-night. They mentioned two-fifty which I believe is the number of the submarine off this coast. They spoke as though more were expected. The Germans are going to make a big drive on our shipping over here." "You may be right, boy," agreed Mr.
When it comes to a real show-down, your poster artists have got our real estate men skinned a mile. How much did you promise the taxi-man?" "Half a sovereign." "Two-fifty. Gee! That's the nearest thing to New York I've struck yet. And the railway tickets first-class, of course?" "Yes." The cab stopped.
This is a pretty stiff up-grade for 202 she passes here at two-fifty just about an hour before Clay found that loosened rail and it wouldn't be impossible for a man to drop off as she was climbing this curve." But now the superintendent was shaking his head. "It doesn't hold together, Mac; there are too many parts missing.
Skinner the fact that the Blue Star stock at the book valuation was appraised very conservatively. He nodded. "Lumber market's up and down, down and up, and we never know where we stand. Give you that at two-fifty a share. Want it?" "I should say I do!" Skinner gasped. "Then you owe me sixty-five thousand dollars.
I've got a relation back t' Michigan who's ben hot an' cold on the idea o' comin' West f'r some time. Might come if he could get a good lay-out. What do you talk on the farm?" "Well, I d' know. I'll rent it on shares or I'll rent it money rent." "Waal, how much money, say?" "Well, say ten per cent, on the price two-fifty." "Wall, that ain't bad. Wait on 'im till 'e thrashes?"
They had cut a startlingly generous V. To say that the dress was elbow-sleeved is superfluous. I have said that Sophy clerked in a downtown loft. Sophy sold "sample" shoes at two-fifty a pair, and from where you were standing you thought they looked just like the shoes that were sold in the regular shops for six.
