There, Jonson, with the most arrogant conceit, tries to make short work of various dramas of Shakspere's for instance, of his historical plays, in which he dared ... with three rusty swords, And help of some few foot and half-foot words, Fight over York and Lancaster's long jars, And in the tyring-house bring wounds to scars.
I suppose your six-foot lordship does not feel altogether insignificant, though to others you do look small beside your old Uncle Ralph, who rises above you a great half-foot at least. But size is of so little consequence with old me, that I may as well accommodate myself to your foolish prejudices."
A quick sense of just what he meant shot through the girl's mind. She raised her eyes and looked at him straight. They were blazing, not altogether with anger. She trembled; she flushed and moved uncertainly. Then, without a word, she turned and left him. "A half-foot more water in the last half-hour," reported Arthur.

In front of it only is the tidal sea, which there flows languidly with a half-foot rise; on the other is the causeway running up to the city wall.
"But I might succeed in omitting the jug as well as in adding the aureole and another half-foot of stature, if only I could get that lovely countenance on the canvas, so full of life and yet of repose." "Don't you think it a little hard?" I ventured to say. "I think so," said Roger. "I don't," said my husband.

Another hour passed while the yacht stumbled her clumsy course to safety. Arthur reported another half-foot; in all three feet six inches of water swishing against the engine-room bulkhead.
