skimp

These things cost thousands when they arenew; but next day you cannot get fifty pounds for them.
I was down fourhundred and thirty pounds sixteen and seven-pence by thetransaction. Make that into fifty thousand within sixmonths I said and I am yours. Tell the landlord to stop the first one thatcomes along and buy it.
I need it, of course; but I dont like it. Julius Sagamore: you may be made of sawdust; but I ammade of flesh and blood. Adrian worships theground I tread on: that is quite true. A mind mate with whom he couldbe thoroughly comfortable.
I see no symptoms of any sickness about you.
I see no symptoms of any sickness about you. You are not making yourself agreeable, Adrian.
Life with you was worsethan any penal servitude. Mr Sagamore: I have changed my mind aboutmy will. There is not even a private sitting room: anybody can walk in hereat any moment. I have to reserve myself for poorand useful people. If you are going to talk like that,take me away to some place where we can be alone. Oh, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, you greedy pig. A man toyou is only a male of your species. Did I go through hell to get that money and win you ordid I not?
What is Mr Blenderbland to you,Mrs Fitzfassenden, if I may ask?
I will sell out my insurance and giveit to you. My father made a hundred and fifty millions.
I was great: the money mademe great: I tell you I was drunk with it: I was another man.
Ishe the chairman of Blenderblands Literary Pennyworths?
I do not care for money: I care for knowledge.
I can supportAlastair until he has time to make another fortune. You are allconsulting me; but none of you has given me any instructions.
Your wife is the mostadorable woman on earth.
It was quite innocent; but where could I go to when youdrove me out of the house by your tantrums? I will sell out my insurance and giveit to you.
At least have the manners tostay with me until my chauffeur comes back. Imust have sprained my wrist throwing that beast all over the place.
