Isn't it just barely possible that Uncle Pumblechook may be a tenant of hers, and that he may sometimes we won't say quarterly or half-yearly, for that would be requiring too much of you but sometimes go there to pay his rent? And couldn't she then ask Uncle Pumblechook if he knew of a boy to go and play there?
Her individuality was blotted out, or absorbed into her husband's being. She had no more power or influence in her own house, than the lowest scullion in her kitchen. She had given up her banking account, and the receipt of her rents, which in the days of her widowhood had been remitted to her half-yearly by the solicitor who collected them.
Perhaps if Miss Sommerton's entire capital had been something less than her half-yearly income, she might have made a name for herself; but the rich man gets a foretaste of the scriptural difficulty awaiting him at the gates of heaven, when he endeavours to achieve an earthly success, the price of which is hard labour, and not hard cash.
It was a joke on Philip in his club by-the-way, the half-yearly dues were not far off that he was doing splendidly in the law; he already had an extensive practice in chambers! The law is said to be a jealous mistress, but literature is a young lady who likes to be loved for herself alone, and thinks permission to adore is sufficient reward for her votary.
Plates should be tenderly treated, kept as smooth as possible, and when cleaning up after crushing, in your own battery, the amalgam except, say, at half-yearly intervals should be removed with a rubber only; the rubber is simply a square of black indiarubber or soft pine wood.

The first was about the half-yearly rent of Castle-Green school-room, due July 1, 1837, which had come in only in part by that time. I am now fully convinced that the rent ought to be put by daily or weekly, as God may prosper us, in order that the work, even as to this point, may be a testimony.
But he was conscious of nothing external. His mind was absorbed by the thought of his meeting with Hannah, and by the excited feeling that one of the crises of his timid and patient life was approaching. During the last four years they had been very poor, in spite of Mr. Gurney's half-yearly cheque, partly because of the determination with which he had stuck to his secret saving.

They had been married six months. "The Diamond Gate" had been published for nearly a year and was still selling in England and America. Adrian flourishing his first half-yearly cheque in January had vowed he had no idea there was so much money in the world. He basked in Fortune's sunshine.
'Perhaps you recollect me? said Ralph, looking narrowly at the schoolmaster. 'You paid me a small account at each of my half-yearly visits to town, for some years, I think, sir, replied Squeers. 'I did, rejoined Ralph. 'For the parents of a boy named Dorker, who unfortunately unfortunately died at Dotheboys Hall, said Ralph, finishing the sentence.
