We found out this morning what a delightful spot it would make for a lake and a big summer resort hotel, and at noon Sam bought the property, and we have been planning it all afternoon.

He's bought it outright and he's going to capitalize it for a quarter of a million dollars.

How much stock are you going to take in it ?" "How much what ?" "How many shares of stock are you going to take in it?
You must speak up quickly, because it's going to be a favor to you for us to let you in." "Well, I don't know," said Mr.Stevens, resisting a sudden desire to guffaw.

"I'd have to look it over first before I decide to invest.
Sounds like a sort of wild-eyed scheme to me.

Besides that, I already have a good big block of stock in one of Sam Turner's enterprises." "Oh, yes," she said, puckering her brows.
