"Oh no, that's not her name!" and Angus laughed too "It wouldn't do to give her real name! but Ketchup's quite as good and high-sounding as the one she's got. And as I tell you, the whole 'staff' was convulsed. Three shareholders came down post haste to the office one at full speed in a motor, and said how dare I mention Mrs. Mushroom Ketchup at all?
To me she became a sort of living thing, the impersonation of a living and throbbing love in the heart of thousands of "shareholders"; and I said, with a deep, indestructible faith, "The Lord has provided the Lord will provide."
But the bush still stretched unbroken a little further to the north, and while Clark's engineers spent millions to harness the mighty flow of Superior, the beaver were building their dams in a tamarac swamp not five miles from the works. All this was indissolubly linked with Philadelphia. Parties of shareholders, large and small, came up in special cars to inspect the plant.
I gets the stockholders strung out and marches 'em, single file, through from the main room; and the reporter man passes 'em out of the side door into the hall again. As they go by, Buck takes up the stock and the Gold Bonds, paying 'em cash, dollar for dollar, the same as they paid in.

No one can imagine to what epileptic contortions the loss of money can drive an assemblage of men, who has not seen a meeting of shareholders on the morrow of a great disaster, with their clinched fists, their convulsed faces, their glaring eyes, and foaming lips. They felt indignant at what had once been their delight.

I am playing the flute here for the last time this evening; I would have left some days ago, but this was a first performance, and I did not want to spoil my part." "Goot, mine friend," said Schmucke.

I can't do any more for you. It is my duty to my shareholders to increase the value of those lands if I can do so legally."
'In 1589, says Knight, 'we have undeniable evidence that he had not only a casual engagement, was not only a salaried servant, as may players were, but was a shareholder in the company of the Queen's players with other shareholders below him on the list.
