"Howling northeast gale" Tanrade read aloud "Duck and geese come midnight train, bring two hundred fours, one hundred double zeros for ten bore." "Vive le curé!" I shouted, "the good old boy to let us know. A northeast gale at last a howler," he says. "He is charming the curé," breathed Alice, her breast heaving "Charming!" she repeated in a voice full of suppressed emotion.
Each letter of the alphabet in regular rotation was represented by its corresponding numeral; a zero was employed to set off one letter from another, and the addition of the numerals between the zeros indicated the number of the letter involved.
We shall see directly how from the combination of these two zeros unity springs forth, or the idea which dispels the antinomy. Thus, in value, there is nothing useful that cannot be exchanged, nothing exchangeable if it be not useful: value in use and value in exchange are inseparable.
While the philosophers, however, were busied in blushing at their stupidity in not having foreseen these inevitable evils, and intent upon the invention of new theories, the matter was put to an abrupt issue by a fellow of the name of Mob, who took every thing into his own hands and set up a despotism, in comparison with which those of the fabulous Zeros and Hellofagabaluses were respectable and delectable.
Now, although the Gigerl was but a single doll, the supply of him, so to speak, had been surprisingly abundant, and the demand, if represented by the desire of any one person concerned to possess him, may be represented by the smallest of zeros.
"We'd scoot up there now if it wasn't so late." "I've no doubt you'll find the place carpeted with zeros and hung with noughts and ciphers." I couldn't refrain from joshing her a little. She took it with a smile glanced across the room, looked a little surprised, and half rose with, "Why, there they are for me now."
Tonight, I come before you to announce that the federal deficit, once so incomprehensively large that it had 11 zeros, will be simply zero. I will submit to Congress, for 1999, the first balanced budget in 30 years. And if we hold fast to fiscal discipline, we may balance the budget this year four years ahead of schedule.
Again the eraser came into play to remove the cents after the figure "25." A comma and three zeros following it were inserted, followed by a new "00/100." The signature was left untouched. Erasing the name of "Green & Co.," presented greater difficulties, but it was accomplished with as little loss of the protective coloring on the surface of the check as possible.
The objects may be auctioned off afterwards. On a sheet mark a regular tit-tat-to diagram in black point. Stretch the sheet so it will be smooth on the floor. Divide the company into sides, a captain being appointed for each side. Call one side the crosses and the other side the zeros. When a signal is given, the captain of one side takes his position in any one of the squares of the diagram.
Rhoda Gray copied the first line of the message on the piece of wrapping paper: 321010333203202306663103330111102210444202101112052110761 Adding the numerals between the zeros, and giving to each its corresponding letter, she set down the result: 6010110505022090405014030509014 f a k e e v i d e n c e i n
