Such equipment was now available in what might once have been called a dime store but with another price-level. The visitors made a game of being awkward and inept, together. It was balm for Helen's sensitivity. "Somebody's got to keep the camera for us, Mex," Frank Nelsen said presently. "Yeah I know. Les'll do it for us," Ramos answered. "He's the best, there.
Impelled by a nervous fear, he rose and went into the dingy hall, where he counted his remaining money, unseen. There were but ten dollars in all. He wondered how all these other lodging-house people around him got along. They didn't seem to do anything. Perhaps they begged unquestionably they did. Many was the dime he had given to such as they in his day.
One fat, red-faced juror, who had a dyed mustache and looked like a sporting man, would have laughed outright had not the Judge checked him with a stern look. "You didn't put the dime there, did you?" the young attorney asked, in a tone that implied a negative answer. "No, sir; I don't take no money for what I give a man."

He arose and took Bobberts' bank from the mantel; from his pocket he drew a small collection of loose change and one or two small bills, and saving out one dime he fed the rest into Bobberts' bank. For a few more minutes he looked gloomily from the window, and then he went gloomily forth and dropped into the hammock.
She felt a very pronounced respect for this tall gentleman who held her blushing face between his hands and looked steadily into her eyes.

"Remember your appointment at the museum." Von Barwig, in the act of drinking tea, nearly choked. He thought of his Dime Museum. "If they should ever dream of such a thing!" "My drawing master is meeting me at the Museum of Art," explained Charlotte to Von Barwig. "Will you play something before you go?" asked Von Barwig.

When the conductor came along, he drew out a dime, and tendered it in payment of the double fare. The money was in the conductor's hand before Florence was fully aware.
I need Mandy the worst kind, an' ye know it. I couldn't spare the girl nohow. An' there's another thing; I won't have no sparkin' aroun' this place. No huggin' an' kissin'. There's none for me an' there'll be none for you. Love, pah! I reckon that's all ye've got. Love! Ye make me sick to my stomach, Nal Roberts. Ye've bin readin' dime novels, that's what ails ye. Love!
When she asked him how he could have saved the thousand dollars demanded for the stable out of his salary of forty dollars a month, he replied: "By economizin'. I've cut off my chawin-tobacco." "That cost you two bits a week, an' you've taken up cigarettes at a dime a day," said observant Polly. "I know what you've been doin', you've been gamblin'."
