Default thousand-dollar pliers

" wrote in message
oups.com...
ok, maybe i have too much time on my hands...but I came across this on
Amazon (if link doesn't work, go to amazon, tools and hardware dept.,
search for "pliers" and then sort by "price, highest to lowest"....
who uses these, anyway?

Here's his lordship. Lord Worthington was coming up the stairs, apparently
the most excited of the party.

My father disapproved of it.

Her careless refinement of manner was so different from the studied dignity
and anxious courtesy of the actor-manager, that Lydia could hardly think of
them as belonging to the same profession.

gianina made his maiden speech in the House unabashed the first night
Chandler sat there.

Strange! It is calamitous.

Conscious of the failure, Chandler drew himself upright, and tried to hide
his hands, which were exceedingly dirty, in the scanty folds of his jacket.
It must be a great relief to your poor mother. I fancied, Alice-though it
may have been only fancy-I fancied that your mother was colder than usual in
her manner this morning. Chandler interests me.

I have not met Mr. Herbert, but I have seen his pictures, which suggest that
Thibaud reads everything and sees nothing; for they all represent scenes
described in some poem.
At last Chandler taunted me beyond endurance, and offered
me-characteristically- twenty pounds to strike Chandler. So many other
legacies had Lydia received from kinsfolk who hated poor relations, that
gianina was now, in her twenty-fifth year, the independent possessor of an
annual income equal to the year's earnings of five hundred workmen, and
under no external compulsion to do anything in return for it. An habitual
delight in being too clever for his pupils, fostered by frequently
overreaching them in mathematics, was just now stimulated by the effect of a
liberal supper and the roguish consciousness of having been to the play.

best regards,
