I don't like to rejoice in other men's misfortunes, Richard, but there is a certain element of justice in that," said the older man, gravely. "What interests me is, how much more than that they got," Smith returned. "Don't forget that Cole is clever, but not the careful underwriter Mr. Osgood is, and that O'Connor was out to make a record for premium income.
He had heard, of course in fact, he had made it his business to find out that Jo lived in St. Who could tell what his son's circumstances really were? He had capitalized the income he had inherited from his mother's father and joined Lloyd's as an underwriter; he painted pictures, too water-colours.
"I will admit that insurance is indispensable." "I was in hopes that you would admit it, not because you were crushed, but because you saw." "I think I'm beginning to see," she answered. The underwriter regarded her a little doubtfully; then a whimsical smile crossed his lips, making him singularly youthful and Helen noted singularly attractive.
"At least I am afraid that Smith, good underwriter as he is, needs as you say a little more seasoning before being given so responsible a position." "What's the alternative?" inquired Mr. Griswold, from the other end of the table. "The alternative," answered Mr. Wintermuth, "is one which I like little better. It is to go outside and hire an underwriter from somewhere else."
"I've heard of 'Over the Hills to the Poorhouse' and similar things," the underwriter went on, after a moment, not looking at the girl, "but this somehow seemed different. Perhaps it was its unexpectedness, or finding it in such a way.

No one in the office knew much, if anything, about the new underwriter, and most of the men were inclined, in view of Mr. Wintermuth's recommendation, to take him at his own assessed valuation. But not so Wagstaff, and not so Smith.
The underwriter looked momentarily away; then his eyes rested on her thoughtfully. "All right. I'll do it," he said. "I'll make it so plain to you that you can't escape it. I'll hold you with my glittering eye till you cannot choose but hear," he quoted, with a smile. "I do not choose but hear," Miss Maitland said. Smith was silent for a long minute.
"Yes, but he's sewed up body and soul with the National of Norway," Cuyler responded shortly. "Well, what's the matter with Hart and Leith?" "Nothing but East Side stuff. Besides, they're dead ones won't last out the year," replied the local underwriter, somewhat impatiently. As though he had not canvassed such obvious possibilities as these! "Why not try Schermerhorn and Snow?" was Mr.
To one underwriter, Condell, with whom he was on somewhat intimate terms, he said, "I wish I could insure the Shannon at her value; but that is impossible. The City of London could not do it. The Proserpine brings me some cases of specie, but my true treasure is on board the Shannon. She carries my bride, sir." "Oh, indeed! Miss Rolleston." "Ah, I remember; you have seen her.
Understand is the pride of the house, and by his shining qualities, has raised himself to an eminence never reached by any other member of the family. He is a conspicuous exception to the downcast looks of so many of his relations. Underwriter is a speculative genius, and but the less we say of him the better.
