And now he had mortally offended Hohenlo, and Buys, and Barneveld, while he hated Sir John Norris with a most passionate hatred. Wilkes, the English representative, was already a special object of his aversion.
Gorman was forced to admit that Donovan showed less wisdom than might be expected in wishing to spend money on a kingdom of that kind. "Then," said Madame, "the affair is simple. He buys. You sell. He pays. You take. We skip. I love London yes, very well. But after all there are other cities. We skip. The Emperor acts. The American curses. What is that to us?" The King shook his head.
When a man has made a lucky speculation, or has just got a large order, he treats his friends to a bottle of champagne. I have not seen burgundy half a dozen times since I have been here. The old colonist finds claret thin and sour; but the younger generation are beginning to take to it, although there is no wine harder to obtain here than claret. Nine-tenths of what one buys is adulterated.
"If he buys the papers, I don't believe he can sell them, so the money's wasted anyway," said Rachel, trying another tack. "We will wait and see," said Mrs. Harding. She saw that Rachel was in one of her unreasonable moods, and that it was of no use to continue the discussion. Jack started for the newspaper offices and bought a supply of papers.
A fellow what wants to do his creditors buys goods in New York, we'll say, for his business in Galveston, we'll say, and then when he gets the goods he don't even bother to unpack 'em, Hymie, but ships 'em right away to you. And you examine 'em, and if they're all O. K., why, you send him a check for about half what it costs to manufacture 'em.
Yet buying can be a fine thing. For 'tis a genuine present when a person who never allows himself a superfluity, at last buys one, as Charles and Mary Lamb did their first blue pots and prints, out of slowly saved up pennies. There is in that all the grace of long self-restraint, and the grace of finally triumphant love love for that faithfully courted object, that Rachel among inanimates!
"No picture is spoiled until it goes out of our hands, you know," and Mr. Hooley smiled satirically. "You know how it is in the picture business, Miss Fielding. Some unfortunate producer buys a script or a story. The scenario writer 'saves' the story by his work on the script. Then the continuity man 'saves' it a second time. Then the director 'saves' it after he gets it into his hands.
He buys over a million dollars' worth a year for us, and I cannot recall any instance when he failed to notice a defect in any line of goods or any feature that would be likely to render them unsalable." This man's highly developed power of observation was certainly of great value. Careful observers become accurate thinkers. These are the men that are needed everywhere and by everybody.
Liberia itself however, must be interesting to visit, for it is an independent republic of negroes with an elected President, Senate and House of Representatives. It sells palm oil to other countries and buys alcohol, arms and ammunition, thus exchanging a peaceful luminant and lubricant for the elements of moral and physical strife.
That is my life!" "Yet what good is your money to you?" insisted Shirley. "You are able to spend only an infinitesimal part of it. You cannot even give it away, for nobody will have any of it." "Money!" he hissed rather than spoke, "I hate money. It means nothing to me. I have so much that I have lost all idea of its value. I go on accumulating it for only one purpose. It buys power.
