"You shoot not so straight as I, for all your bravado. Take this from the tupenny bow!" Straight flew his answering shaft. The Head Forester gave one cry, then fell face downward and lay still. His life had avenged Rob's father, but the son was outlawed. Forward he ran through the forest, before the band could gather their scattered wits still forward into the great greenwood.
Phinuit's declaration that he didn't give a tupenny damn if they did all get soaked to their skins.

'Twas the man who had usurped his father's place as Head Forester, and who had roughly turned his mother out in the snow. But never a word said he for good or bad, and would have passed on his way, had not this man, clearing his throat with a huge gulp, bellowed out: "By my troth, here is a pretty little archer!

When I was with Hendry cloaks with beads were the fashion, and Jess sighed as she looked at them. Kyowowy means finicky, and applied to the draper by general consent.

They finish their education with the ten-penny.
