Pile; "and if he'd stirred both his fistesses, he wouldn't have done a ha'porth of good. Givantake, indeed! He be blowed!" There was a species of honesty about Mr. Pile which almost endeared him to Sir Thomas. "Something must be settled," said Trigger. "I thought you'd got a proposition to make," said Spicer. "Well, Sir Thomas," began Mr.
I've known friendship and loneliness, plenty and poverty, been hooted and cheered and had a prince shake my fist " "What for?" "'T was arter I'd beat the Chelsea Snob, him as licked the Bristol Slasher; they thought the Snob would eat me but ah, well these were days o' vanity, brother, and no grace about me no, not a ha'porth." "Please tell me of it."
"Keep me, at your peril!" said Bunce, indignantly. "We means it," said the sergeant who had him in custody. "I've done no ha'porth to break the law," said Bunce. "You was breaking the law when you was upsetting my men, as I saw you," said the sergeant. "I've upset nobody," said Bunce. "Very well," rejoined the sergeant; "you can say it all before the magistrate, to-morrow."
Inspectorial experience does not engender a belief contrariwise, but prompts the answer, Not a ha'porth of difference! There is a piano going in the old Farm House as we approach. It stops. Landlady appears. Has no objections, Mr. Field, to gentlemen being brought, but wishes it were at earlier hours, the lodgers complaining of ill-conwenience.
"I have been clane mistaken in the whole of ye," said he, "I supposed ye Irish, but have found, to my sorrow, that ye are nothing of the kind; purty fellows to pretend to be Irish, when there is not a word of Irish on the tongue of any of ye, divil a ha'porth; the illigant young gentleman to whom I taught Irish, in Dungarvon times of old, though not born in Ireland, has more Irish in him than any ten of ye.
That'll be a very good idea, won't it, Dad? and Owen agreed. 'But of course I'll come to meet you just the same as other Saturdays, because I'm going to buy a ha'porth of milk for the kitten out of my penny. After the child was in bed, Owen sat alone by the table in the draughty sitting-room, thinking. Although there was a bright fire, the room was very cold, being so close to the roof.
Didn't he say that 'the small loaf was the finest recruiting sergeant in the wuruld? There ye have the spirit o' the English. We want the counthry to ourselves, an' to manage it our way, not yours. An' that thievin' owld Gladstone's the biggest scut o' thim all. No, I'm not grateful to Gladstone, not a bit iv it. Divil a ha'porth we have to thank him for.
"'You shouldn't spoil your ship for a ha'porth of tar," said Mr. Moss with a smile, which showed his idea, that he had the best of the argument. "It won't matter for one night," said Mr. O'Mahony, getting out of the carriage. Half the packages had been already taken off the cab. Rachel followed her father, and without attending to Mr. Moss got hold of her father in the street.
I said, much surprised at this piece of information, being under the impression that the others had all gone below. "Iv'ry ha'porth," he answered; "that is, lavin' out ye're brother middies, or `foorst-class apprentices' loike y'rsilf, Misther Gray-ham faix, though, they aren't sailors yit by a long shot.
And then her brother challenged me to fight a duel, whereupon, as the most worshipped of all She's had not received a ha'porth of harm at my hands, I called him a silly ass and threatened to break his head if he interfered any more in my legitimate despair.
