His relatives at Barcelona, merchants quick to understand and appraise a fortune, added up what the notary and his wife had left him and put with that what Labarta and the doctor had contributed, until it amounted to a million pesetas.... And was a man with as much money as that to go on living like a poor captain dependent upon wages to maintain his family!...
An offer to submit all questions arising from the Maine affair to arbitration. An order to Governor-General Blanco to retire into the western provinces and to apply 3,000,000 pesetas for the relief of the agricultural population, with an acceptance by the Spanish government of relief for Cubans sent by the United States, provided such relief were sent in merchant vessels.
The grafter! He had already heard of that studio, as splendid as a palace, behind the Retire What Renovales had in such plenty had been taken from men like him who, for want of influence, had been left behind. He charged thousands of dollars for a canvas, when Velásquez worked for three pesetas a day and Goya painted his portraits for a couple of doubloons.
From the same records we find that during the year 1899 no fewer than sixty-nine large companies were formed, of which twenty-three were for shipping, eight were new sugar factories, seven banks, seven mining, six electric, and ten others related either to manufacture or commerce, the total capital of these new enterprises representing one hundred and twenty-eight millions of pesetas.
We know what to do," said Vidal. "You agree to the scheme?" "Yes, man." Pastiri gave them three pesetas apiece and the four left the tavern, crossed the Ronda and made their way in the crowds of El Rastro.
When I return to Palma, I shall notify to a lawyer that I leave to you, 'Tomaso of the Mill, ten thousand pesetas, to be paid as soon after my death as possible. At Barcelona I shall put the matter into legal form with my own notary there." He rose from his seat on the wall and held out his thick white hand, which Tomaso took, and they shook hands gravely.
Looking at Rafaela with eloquent steadiness he slowly added: "I feel a damn sight better than he does!" Then, while he drank his coffee, the silversmith laid out on the table his board-money for that week. He began to count: "Two and two's four nine eleven thirty-eight pesetas. Rotten week I've had! Say, I've hardly pulled down enough for my drinks."
I go to Don Enrique and say, 'I bet you a hundred pounds the Doctor wins. Then if he does win, Don Enrique pays me a hundred pounds; and if he doesn't, I have to pay Don Enrique." "That's the idea," said Polynesia. "Only don't say a hundred pounds: say two-thousand five-hundred pesetas. Now come and find old Don Ricky-ticky and try to look rich."
Cornuty and Sawa were conversing and reciting verses; they took me to a wine-shop in the Plaza de Herradores, where they drank a number of glasses, which I paid for, whereupon Sawa asked me to lend him three pesetas. I did not have them, and told him so. "Do you live far from here?" asked Alejandro, in his lofty style. "No, near by." "Very well then, you can go home and bring me the money."
It is not for her to set an example; and besides, the example would be of no use, it is as though one having a few thousand pesetas should endeavour to initiate the remedy to social injustice by sacrificing himself and giving them up."
