He asked himself, with prophetic homesickness, if it were an omen of what was to be. But he only said, musingly: "A fortnightly. You know that didn't work in England. The fortnightly is published once a month now." "It works in France," Fulkerson retorted. "The 'Revue des Deux Mondes' is still published twice a month. I guess we can make it work in America with illustrations."
The letters, however, which Garrett Devereau received each day from Miriam bulky, extra-postage epistles brought often news of her; and these fragments Garry, knowing without being told for whom they were meant duly delivered to Steve, in weekly or fortnightly instalments, whenever the latter's duties brought him to Morrison.
But best of all the things said about Foch in that period of his life, I like this, by Charles Dawbarn, in the Fortnightly Review: "Such was" in spite of many disappointments "his fine confidence in life, that he communicated to others not his grievances, but his secret satisfactions."

The packmen are so styled because of their visits being paid fortnightly. Before descending the mine Captain Dan led Oliver to the counting-house, where he bade him undress and put on miner's clothing. "I'll need a biggish suit," observed Oliver. "True," said Captain Dan; "we are obliged usually to give visitors our smallest suits. You are an exception to the rule.
But an article by me in The Fortnightly goes out of its way to dub as a ‘minor poet’ the very writer to whose influence I have succumbed.

Boy scouts delivered annotated copies of President Wilson's addresses to the householders of America. Fortnightly periodicals were sent to six hundred thousand teachers. Two hundred thousand lantern slides were furnished for illustrated lectures. Fourteen hundred and thirty-eight different designs were turned out for posters, window cards, newspaper advertisements, cartoons, seals and buttons.
It was the great fortnightly pay-day, and the pavement was crowded with jostling revelers on the spree. There was a breath of merrymaking in the air deuced fine revelry, but not objectionable so far.
