"You bought it to sell.

I'll give you two hundred and fifty thousand." "No," refused Johnny quite bravely, though with a panicky feeling as he thought of that appallingly swift schedule.
"All right," said Chase.

"I'll hold the offer open at that figure for forty-eight hours.

I think you'll come to it." "I doubt it," responded Johnny, smiling; but he was afraid he would.
In less than an hour he received an unexpected call from Mrs.Guff, who was in such secret agitation that she quivered like jelly whenever she breathed.
"Mr.Guff and myself have decided to take Miss Purry's river-view property off your hands, Mr.Gamble," was the glad tidings she conveyed to him, smiling to share his delight.

"We can't think of letting that river view slip by us." "I'm glad to hear it," he announced with gratification, as he thought of Mr.Chase.
