"Come on with the next one." "Thirty-nine pounds." "And thirty-four pounds makes a hundred and eighteen," said Lester, bending down and eagerly examining the dial.
I am twenty-four, so he of course is thirty-nine.” “I certainly thought him older.” “Just imagine, Mrs. Lafirme, I was only ten when both my parents died. We had no kindred living in the West, and I positively rebelled against being separated from David; so you see he’s had the care of me for a good many years.” “He appears very fond of you.”
A new plan of government lay on the table signed by thirty-nine of the fifty-five men attending the convention. They admitted its defects, but agreed that it was the best frame that could be obtained at the time, and resolved to throw themselves on the indulgence of their constituents.

I am your most obedient servant, RICHARD PLATT, Aid-de-camp. TO GENERAL McDOUGALL. White Plains, January 29th, 1779. I had this day the favour of yours by Lieutenant Rost. The same gentleman brought me a re-enforcement of thirty-nine privates, and a proportion of officers. This enables me to send to camp a few of the worst provided of the nine-months men.
"I'm only thirty-nine," said Rachel, sharply. "Then I must have been under a mistake all my life," said the cooper to himself. "Rachel's forty-seven, if she's a day." This remark he prudently kept to himself, or a fit of hysterics would probably have been the result. "I wouldn't have taken you for a day over thirty-five, ma'am," said the captain, gallantly.
Only one passenger steamer runs to Oki from Sakai in Hoki In a direct line, the distance from Sakai in Hoki to Saigo, the chief port of Oki, is said to be thirty-nine ri; but the steamer touches at the other islands upon her way thither.
