"But he is generous too. He stands by his friends." "I'm not his friend, not so you could notice it." He laughed again, bitterly. "Not that it matters. Of course I was just putting a case. Nothing to it really." He was hedging because he thought he had gone too far, but she appeared not to notice it. Her eyes had the faraway look of one who communes with herself.
I was about three months hedging in the first piece; and, till I had done it, I tethered the three kids in the best part of it, and used them to feed as near me as possible, to make them familiar; and very often I would go and carry them some ears of barley, or a handful of rice, and feed them out of my hand; so that after my enclosure was finished, and I let them loose, they would follow me up and down, bleating after me for a handful of corn.
In the old days, when war was altogether a mass of formalities, and in peace times, when soldiers and their guardians had not enough to do, and it was made an object and employment to save the national property by hedging round all expenditure of that property with difficulties, the system of requisitions might suit the period and the parties.
"Perhaps for the same reason Beverly has," answered Sally. "But why don't you ask me if I did it Miss Baylis? I've often done far worse, haven't I?" "You are rarely vulgar in your pranks," was Miss Baylis' amazing retort, which caused the class to gasp. What was back of this extraordinary hedging? "Well I did do it, Miss Baylis, and I am perfectly willing to stand the punishment.
This one showed a continual inclination to slip off the owner's smooth, bald pate, and the Squire had frequently to adjust it. As his hair had been red, the wig did not accord with his face, and the hair ungrayed was doubly discordant with a countenance shrivelled by age. A semicircular row of whiskers hedging the edge of the jaw and chin.
"Tell me what you heard, father, and I can give you a better answer," Patty replied, hedging to gain time, and shaking inwardly. "Bill Morrill says his brother that works in New Hampshire reports you as ridin' through the streets of Allentown last Monday with a young man." There seemed but one reply to this, so Patty answered tremblingly: "He says what's true; I was there."
She glanced not at the fierce blackened faces of the women, nor on the face of Meriamun, who stood before her, but slowly passed towards the gates. Nor did she go alone, for with her came a canopy of fire, hedging her round with flame that burned from nothing. The women saw the wonder and fell down in their fear, covering their eyes.
Many financial players emphasize the risk reducing role of derivatives. Banks, for instance, lend more and more easily against hedged merchandise. Hedging and insurance used to be disparate activities which required specialized skills.
It is encouraging sometimes to look at our possessions through other people's spectacles, and perhaps I may help some worker in a small field to see in what she calls her limitations, not a hedging in but an opening, by drawing the contrast from another point of view from that of one who is regretfully forced to give up almost all personal, individual work with the children and delegate to others that most delightful of tasks, because her library is so large and she has so much money to spend that her services are more needed in other directions.
Sergei Antonovitch, according to his expression, "went to the root of the matter," and indicated the "source of the evil," very frankly attacking the policy of the government, which did everything to discourage gold mining, hedging round this most important industry with all kinds of difficulties, and practically prohibiting the free production of the precious metals by laying on it a dead weight of costly formalities.
