But Elijah and the boy, in the excitement of their position, quite forgot the injunction.

But Elijah and the boy, in the excitement of their position, quite forgot the injunction. Moreover, Oliver Giles, a man of seventeen, one of the dancers, who was enamoured of his partner, a fair girl of thirty-three rolling years, had recklessly handed a new crown-piece to the musicians, as a bribe to keep going as long as they had muscle and wind. Mrs.
Coxe came forward eagerly, and almost squeezed Mr. Gibson's ring into his finger. As he was leaving the room, he said, a little uneasily, 'May I give Bethia a crown-piece? 'No, indeed! Leave Bethia to me. I hope you won't say another word to her while she is here. I shall see that she gets a respectable place when she goes away. Then Mr.
Sprott, nor prudent to expose himself to the battery of questions which he foresaw that further parley would bring upon him, he extended a crown-piece to the tinker; and saying, with a half-smile, "You must excuse me for leaving you I have business in the town; and do me the favour to accept this trifle," he walked briskly off.
L'Encuerado discovered two little heaps of sand, one of which was still unfinished, and contained twenty eggs about as big as chestnuts, and covered with a whitish skin. A little farther on, Lucien caught a small red turtle, the size of a crown-piece.
The shape of this locket was not unlike a crown-piece, only three times as thick, and as soon as I set eyes upon it I never doubted but that inside would be found the diamond.
"Look here, Higgins," he said, "a word to the wise is enough" here he pressed that worthy's palm with the hard, delicious pressure which an accompanying crown-piece can bestow "look here, Higgins, if Scarlett brings you any Bank of England notes to change, be sure you get him to put his full name and address on them."
I heard a shout behind me; and, glancing back, saw my pursuers, three now, with my full-bodied cousin for whipper-in change their course as I leapt a brook and headed for the crowded enclosure. A somnolent fat man, bulging, like a feather-bed, on a three-legged stool, dozed at the receipt of custom, with a deal table and a bowl of sixpences before him. I dashed on him with a crown-piece.
Sturk stood, with his face and figure mottled over with the shadows of the moving leaves and the withered ones dropping about him, his hands in his pockets, and a crown-piece I believe it was his last available coin just then shut up fast and tight in his cold fingers, with his heart in his mouth, and whistling a little to show his unconcern. 'Well, said Sturk, 'he won't, of course?
Thank thee, my boy: and here is a crown-piece in return for thy bottle-screw it shall open us a bottle of the very best too," says my father. And he kept his word. The best of it was, it only cost me threepence originally, which a chap could not pay me. Seeing this game was such a good one, I became very generous towards my parents; and a capital way it is to encourage liberality in children.
