"Six," "Seven," "Eight," and "Nine" are changed into "Sixty," "Seventy," "Eighty," and "Ninety" by simply affixing the syllable "ty." "Twenty" is another easily changed amount; all that is necessary to make "Seventy" of it is to make an "S" of the "T," and change the first part of the "w" into an "e." To make the alteration perfect, the top part of the "T" must be erased with chemicals.
Fif ty thous and dollars! We calls it 'The Double-Cross an' the Get-Away. The Perfessor has double-crossed our friend an' worthy leader, Red McIvor, an' refuses to say where he has buried the hidden treasure. Instead of fifty thousand good bucks, he hands over a wad o' phoney bills.
'There has 'ty' been put at the end of the written 'seven, and a cipher after the figure 7 making it 70. 'You are sure that it was not so when it went out of your possession? 'Perfectly sure. Mr.
The young lady whose ear I have gained kindly condescends to call the porter, and turning me over to that functionary returns to her worsted. The porter is respectful, but doubtful. The moment he learns that the lost article is an umbrella his manner is pervaded with a gentle hopelessness. He, however, listens forbearingly to my story. "And aboot what time was it, sir, when ye went ty bed?"
‘Now, what are you stopping for?’ says the little man every morning, the moment there is the slightest indication of ‘pulling up’ at the corner of Regent-street, when some such dialogue as the following takes place between him and the cad: ‘What are you stopping for?’ Here the cad whistles, and affects not to hear the question. ‘For passengers, sir. Ba—nk.—Ty.’
When he opened the door of Ty Glas, Ellis Pritchard looked at him reproachfully, from his seat in the darkly-shadowed chimney-corner. "You're come at last," said he. I've a good mind to take her from you for ever." "I did not tell him," cried Nest, looking piteously at her husband; "he made me tell him part, and guessed the rest." She was nursing her babe on her knee as if it was alive.
They had a marriage-scene. Two little Faeries stood up together, and the one that was to marry them took a hair from each of their heads, and fastening the ends together, made a long string; with this he tied them together in a true-lover knot; for such is the way the Faeries do when they are married. This was for ty; then came the whole word.
They stirred the dew in the cup, and as they stirred they sang the Dew drinking chorus: "The shining Dew in the Violet cup Flows round and round in a silvery flood: Against the sides we'll dash the dew up, Then drink! and cool our summer-hot blood." But though they each in turn lifted the cup, they only pretended to drink, for it was icy cold. That was for du; next came ty. This was done thus.
He left a home where the certainty of being thwarted made him chary in expressing his wishes; where no tones of love ever fell on his ear, save those addressed to others; where his presence or absence was a matter of utter indifference; and when he entered Ty Glas, all, down to the little cur which, with clamorous barkings, claimed a part of his attention, seemed to rejoice.
He seems, indeed, to have been born a soldier; for he had an intrepidity which was never to be shaken by any danger, and a spirit of enterprise not to be discouraged by difficulty, which were supported by an unusual degree of bodily strength.
