Consequently, Vanderbilt's brokers were busily buying in this load of stock in million-dollar bunches; other persons were likewise purchasing. As fast as the checks came in, Drew and his partners converted them into cash. It was not until the day's activity was over that Vanderbilt, amazed and furious, realized that he had been gouged out of $7,000,000.
Others thought it was his refusal to be discouraged when he found he had picked a failure. Still others, who knew him better, were likely to say: "Why, I don't know. It's a sort of well, you might call it charm and yet . Did you ever see him smile? He's got a million-dollar grin. You can't resist it." None of them was right. Or all of them.
Harper in hot pursuit; or perhaps he would be following close on my trail, like the wolf in the Russian story, in inaccessible country retreats, while I escaped only by means of the slight delays I occasioned him by now and then dropping a million-dollar bill, which he would be obliged to stop and pick up.
"So?" said he, and fell to pulling his long mustache. "What's the whole truth, Nephew? If you don't feel equal to learning how to run a million-dollar patent-medicine plant, what do you feel you'd be good at, hey?" "I'm good in my own line: I want to be an artist. I am going to be an artist, if I have to starve to death for it!" said Peter. He spread out his hands.
It would have been cheaper for me in the end if I had let the old man disinherit him, because when Percy ran that Mess Pork corner three years ago, he caught me short a pretty good line and charged me two dollars a barrel more than any one else to settle. Explained that he needed the money to wipe out the unpaid balance of a million-dollar note that he'd inherited from his father.
I opened up a gross or two of the Brazilians and made Mame put them on rings, brooches, necklaces, eardrops, bracelets, girdles, and lockets. She flashed and sparkled like a million-dollar princess until she had pink spots in her cheeks and almost cried for a looking-glass.
But but still it it seems to have a strange reference to the burial of the million-dollar dog, and an invitation that I thought " "Where is it? Give it to me!" For once in his life, high pressure of excitement had blotted out Average Jones' drawl.
He had a cock-sure air about him that attracted my attention. I have seldom seen a young man more pleased with himself. He was entirely too cocky for me. He began talking. He said he was a Syrian and was worth a thousand dollars. Soon he would be worth a million, he said. He was already putting on his million-dollar airs.
"But not the crowd, Charley; just you and " "How're we going to get the license, honey, this time of night without Jess? Let's make it a million-dollar wedding. We're not ashamed of nobody or nothing." "Of course not, Charley." "Now, you're sure, honey? You're drawing a fellow that went to the dogs before he cut his canines." "You're not all to the canines yet, Charley."
"Allan, before you finish that million-dollar conversation to Mr. De Guenther, please call me. I want to speak to him a minute, too." "I'll call you," he promised. They drifted off, Phyllis to attend to her housekeeping, Allan to his long-distance leases, and Philip to find Angela, whom he never forgot for long. She had breakfast with her nurse, and Philip felt it was time he looked her up.
