"I I've already bought it," I said, weakly. "Yeh didn't pay more 'n nine hundred, did yeh?" he questioned, anxiously. "No, I didn't pay more than that." "I'm glad," he said, "for it wasn't 'prised any more. I like to see things in this world done fair. When yeh git moved I'll come to see yeh again. Good night." He limped through the long grass and disappeared over the hill.
Right Honourable, my humble duetie to your good Lordship done, I thought good humbly to aduertise your honour of the discouery of an Island made by two smal shippes of Saint Malo; the one 8 daies past being prised neare Silley by a ship of which I am part owner, called the Pleasure, sent by this citie to my Lord Thomas Howard, for her Maiesties seruice.
And in the same yeere thy Maiesties diak Boris Gregoriwich had for thy vse 15. broad cloths of diuerse sorts, prised at 210. robles, whereof 90. robles are vnpayd. Right noble king and Lord, shew thy mercy, and cause the money to be payd vs which is owing for our goods, as also that which has beene taken from vs: extend thy fauor, King and Lord.
Droulliard, the working man who found the ancient box, seems to have prised it open, and ignorant though he was he had probably never seen a diamond in his life before realised that a fortune was in his grasp.
That night he took his Waterbury, prised open the face with a pocket-knife as if he were opening an oyster, put the minute hand on exactly half an hour, and retired to bed satisfied. There was going to be no nonsense about it this time. I am sorry to disappoint the reader, but facts are facts, and I must not tamper with them.
"This will do it," cried Jim, who had been searching about, and now came with the broken end of a topgallant-yard to serve as a handspike. By its means he prised up the spar, while I as gently as I could dragged out the man by the shoulders. No sooner did I feel his jacket than I was almost sure that he was no other than our good old skipper.
It was just here that Vashti had seated herself the first morning, and had asked him the fatal question, "For what, then, do they pay you?" He remembered the words, the inflection of scorn in her tone. Here at his feet on a cushion of wild thyme lay the stone she had prised out absently, while she spoke, with the point of her sunshade. For a whole week he had not seen her.
Look, there's a board there, nailed over the wall where her head went. Don't laugh, you fool! don't laugh it happened. I dreamed it. I know that now; but it happened for all that before the big advance. I tell you she had light golden hair ah! look." The Doctor had prised off the board, and there on the wall an ominous red stain showed dull in the candlelight.
It could hardly have been overlooked for so much as an instant, for the slender chain upon which they had formerly hung was lying across the body, the setting of the gems had been prised open and the diamond removed." "Singular circumstances, both." "In what way, Cleek?"
I soon prised up a grave-slab of some famous man in the north transept, and commenced to shovel: but, I do not know how, by the time I had digged a foot the whole impulse passed from me: I left off the work, promising to resume it: but nothing was ever done, for the next day I was at Woolwich, and busy enough about other matters.
