The distance between these two points is wide and variable, depending upon the indications of wealth about the purchaser's person and the indications of innocence about his countenance.
But owing to the rise in the value of gilt-edged securities, Irish Land Stock, with a face value of £100, became at one moment worth as much as £114; the purchaser's interest was at 2-3/4 per cent. i.e. the existing rate on Consols; but his instalment, prospectively fined down by decadal reductions, enabled him to offer an acceptable price and yet pay far less to the State, by way of instalment, after purchase than was due to his landlord, by way of rent, before purchase.
"I am to be informed of my purchaser's name after the bargaining is over? And only then?" "Since you choose to put it in that way yes." Neither chose to break the silence that fell between them, and Esmay, catching up her skirt, turned to go. "Good-night," she said, but Quinton Edge did not answer.
Every dealer has to keep a day-book, with an entry of each object in his shop over five pounds in value, the purchaser's name must be filled in, and every page of the register sealed by the Inspector of Antiquities."

He would have scorned in his very soul the idea of making a farthing by it himself through any business quirk whatever, but he would not have been the least ashamed if, having sold Kelpie, he had heard let me say after a week of possession that she had dashed out her purchaser's brains. He would have been a little shocked, a little sorry perhaps, but nowise ashamed.
Umbrellas, like faces, acquire a certain sympathy with the individual who carries them: indeed, they are far more capable of betraying his trust; for whereas a face is given to us so far ready made, and all our power over it is in frowning, and laughing, and grimacing, during the first three or four decades of life, each umbrella is selected from a whole shopful, as being most consonant to the purchaser's disposition.
