"I've got all the strings working smoothly. We've got Groostock where it can't peep any louder than a freshly hatched chicken, and we'll soon bring Maud to her senses. I tell you, Lou, there is nothing that makes a girl forget her lofty ideals so quickly as the chance to go shopping for princess gowns. She's seen the prince and I'll bet she won't be so stubborn as she was before.
"And what's more, I don't take any stock in cheap novels in which American heroes go about marrying into royal families and all that sort of rot. It isn't done, Lou. If you want to marry into a royal family you've got to put up the coin." "Prince Robin's mother, the poor Princess Yetive, married an American for love, let me remind you." "Umph! Where is this Groostock anyway?"
The House of Nobles went against his judgment and voted in favour of accepting Russia's loan. Now they realise that dear old John Tullis was right. Somehow it gratifies me to hear you say that they were ahem! shortsighted." "What you need in Groostock is a little more good American blood," announced Mr. Blithers, pointedly.

By the way, I understood that your solicitor your lawyer, I should say, was to be here this evening. It had occurred to me that he might draw up the statement, if Mrs. Blithers will forgive us in our haste " "He couldn't get here," said Mr. Blithers, and no more. He was thinking too intently of something more important. "What's turned up?" "Turned up, Mr. Blithers?" "Yes in Groostock.
Investment, that's all. Your credit is sound, and your resources unquestioned, your bonds gilt-edge. I am glad of the opportunity to take a few dollars out of Wall Street uncertainties and put 'em into something absolutely certain. Groo Gras er Groostock bonds are pretty safe things to have lying in a safety vault in these times of financial unrest.
