Capitolo 59


As to fix the price of, however the lawyers were obstinate. They hammered out him for
the first sum of the Account to the extreme florin. It was a very great
respect. We spoke and shilly-shallied up to Mr. Charles grew angry.
Him finally lost his/her temperament.

"Yours know that I am a millionaire, Sey" that he has said, "and they is playing
the old game to try to tangle me. But I won't be tangled. Except
Colonel Clay, any man has ever succeeded still in to bleed me. And
I did me bleeds as if I were a chamois among these
innocent mountains? The thought perish!" Then he reflected a little
in silence. "Sey", him the mused on, finally, "the question is, _are_
them innocent? You know, I start to believe there is anybody this way
what it went away wherever as former innocence. This Tirolean Account knows
the value of a pound as separately as if he hung out in Court of Capel
or Kimberley."

Things dragged so above in, inconclusively, for a week or two.
_We_ offers down;  the lawyers hammered him to him. Mr. that Charles is grown ill mean

"You incomprende", he said, with pride. "Us Tirolean gentlemen are
not storekeepers or dealers. We don't make higgle. If we say a thing us
hammer to him. It was you an Austrian, I should feel insults me from Your
sick-considered you try to demolish my price. But as You belongs to a
great commercial nation--" he broke away with a puff and shrugged
his/her shoulders compassionately.
