If a half-pint is counted as a half-pound and the gold at the company's price of eleven dollars an ounce, it will be seen why four years of such discoveries did not set Victoria on fire. It has been so with every discovery of gold in the history of the world.
The fox swung swiftly away with the wind, warned by the sounds of conflict. He was not a fighter, but a murderer who killed from behind, and a little later he leaped upon an owl and tore it into bits for the half-pound of flesh within the mass of feathers. But nothing could drive back those little white outlaws of the wilderness the ermine.
We had very little time to examine the elephant, as we were far from home and the sun was already low. I felt convinced that the other elephant could not be far off, after having received the "Baby's" half-pound shell carefully directed, and I resolved to return on the following morning with many people and camels to divide the flesh.
For instance: One week ago she gave me a perfectly lovely box of chocolates a whole two-pound box all at once; and I've never had more than a half-pound at once before. But just as I was thinking how for once I was going to have a real feast, and all I wanted to eat what do you think she told me? She said I could have three pieces, and only three pieces a day; and not one little tiny one more.
Rigolette took a match, and lit an end of candle, which was in a very shining candlestick. "Dear me! wax candle, neighbor what luxury!" "The little I burn costs me a trifle more than a tallow candle, but it is so much neater." "Not much dearer?" "Oh, no. I buy these ends of candles by the pound, and a half-pound serves me a month."
* the worthy father of a family daily deciding what article of furniture he will sell to make up for what is lacking in his wages that he may buy a half-pound of bread; * every sort of provision increasing in price sixty times an hour; * the smallest business dependent on the fall of assignats; * intriguers of all parties overthrowing each other only to get offices;
My "Baby" not only screamed, but kicked viciously. However, I knew that the elephant must be bagged, as the half-pound shell had been aimed directly behind the shoulder. In a few minutes the aggageers arrived.
The dynamiter with his helper followed them up. This is the most exciting and interesting part of clearing land by modern methods. The dynamite is put up in half-pound sticks. They are a little larger than an ordinary candle and are wrapped in heavy yellow paraffined paper.
She was fat, full-blooded, and before the attack had lived freely on milk and flesh. Accordingly she was robust, and I bled her from the basilic vein of the left hand and the saphena of the right foot, both within an hour. Each hour I withdrew a half-pound of blood, then I fed her and for three hours I drew half a pound of blood from the saphena.
Heretofore, since our mutton was consumed, they had helped out their daily half-pound of flour, with the roasted roots of the gum-scrub, but to-day they had been too busy to get any, and I was obliged to give to each a piece of bread beyond the regular allowance.
