But in any case, if you are selling I'm buying." Rupert jumped up suddenly. "I won't take you seriously till you've seen it," he declared. "Oh yes, you will," Mordaunt returned imperturbably. "Because, you see, I am serious. But we haven't come to business yet. I want to know what price you are asking for this ancestral dwelling of yours." "We would take almost anything," Rupert said.
Miss Vane's eyes flashed. "You know what I mean then?" she said sharply. Hubert started into an upright position, crossed his arms, and looked her imperturbably in the face. "I have not the slightest idea of what you are going to say." "You know something, nevertheless," said Miss Vane, with equal composure. "Well, I don't ask you to betray your sister.

De Marmont smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "I know that," he said, "or I would not be here."

He examined the piece carefully. "Where did you get it?" he asked, in Turkish. "From the Validé Khan," answered the Jew, in the same language. "It is a genuine piece, a hundred years old at least." "You probably ask a pound for every year, and a backsheesh for the odd months," said the other. "Twenty pounds," answered Marchetto, imperturbably.
