earnest money

I congratulated myself on having taken the packet and paid the earnest-money, and went to bed.

By this time Mr. Grewgious had his agreement-lines, and his earnest-money, ready.

The earnest-money, said to have been paid on these herds, is correct to a cent, and we admit having the amount in our possession.

He said no word as to his birth, but asked him leave to trade on his lands, offering a ring as earnest-money.
