"You've raised me, and spent some money on me but I've saved you a man's wages ever since I was ten. If you think I've evened things up, all right. If you don't, make out your bill and I'll pay it when I can. There's no reason why you should give me anything I haven't earned, just because you're my father. You earned all you've got, and I guess I can do the same. As you say, I'm a man.
"Oh, it's when things are evened up somehow," said Tom; "not exactly that, but it will do well enough by way of explaining." "And I'm never going to laugh again at anybody," said Adela, lifting her red eyes. "Well, come on, don't you want a game of draughts?" said Tom, awkwardly. "Draughts?" repeated Adela, very much puzzled. "I don't know it." "Why, what a whopper!"
The officers were genial good fellows who admitted their boat was not the fastest on the Atlantic, although at one time she had been; but if The Tub never broke the record, on the other hand, she never broke a shaft, and so things were evened up.

Gawden, and have received some satisfaction, though it be short of what I expected, and what might be expected from me. So after evened I have gone, and so to supper and to bed. 7th.
I rather thought I had evened the account between us; at least I had reduced the balance a trifle. This time it was not I who appeared ridiculous. Dorinda saw me when I entered the kitchen. Her hands were upraised. "My soul and body!" she exclaimed. "LOOK at them pants! LOOK at 'em! And I ain't had time to put a needle to your other ones yet!"
With him till it was darke putting in writing our discourse about victualling, and so parted, and I to Viner's, and there evened all accounts, and took up my notes setting all straight between us to this day. The like to Colvill, and paying several bills due from me on the Tangier account.
Those flaming ferocities known as "turkey-red" cloths, which seem to fairly fly at one, are not only inartistic but altogether too suggestive of economy in laundering to be appetizing table companions. Cloths bought by the yard must be evened at the ends by drawing a thread, and hemmed by hand, never stitched on the machine.
Then he took a large stone and hammered at the lock till he broke it and, opening the lid, behold a young lady, a model of beauty and loveliness, clad in the richest of garments and jewels of gold and such necklaces of precious stones that, were the Sultan's country evened with them, it would not pay their price.
