Well, I heard the very gentlemen that occupied this room sayin' how they used to go to an eatin'-house, and one 'd order one thing, and another another, and then they'd halve it between 'em, and make out a first-rate meal for about a quarter apiece.

But the Company agreed to halve the forfeit for delay when they'd seen what a masterpiece the work was." "Ah, yes and what about the contractors, whom he couldn't pay, I hear?" "He's paid them all in full now. The Bank arranged things." "I see. After you and he had mortaged every stick and rag you had in the world. Yes, indeed you deserve a good whipping, the pair of you!"

But th' Bible says that, though one man's burden be 'most as heavy as another's, the pair may halve the whole load by sharin' it or that's as I read the tex'." Young Obed ground his teeth. "Maybe you haven't to endure this sort o' thing!"

A. Rather more than that: three-quarters empty. Q. Miss Marchurst told M. Vandeloup she had poured half the contents of one bottle into the other. Would not this account for the bottle being three-quarters empty? A. Possibly; but if the first bottle was full, it is probable she would halve the poison exactly; so if it had been untouched, it ought to be half full.

Stand all three pieces together on edge, and make the marks with a square across the tops. Allow a distance of 4 feet between the outside faces of r1 and r3; halve this distance to get the centre of r2; and subdivide the distance between r3 and r6 so that each rafter is separated from its neighbours by an equal space, which will be 1 foot 11 inches.

'Why dostna' speak, lass? 'What am I to say, uncle? 'Wouldst like me to make a new will, and halve it between John and Fred? It wouldna' be fair to Fred, not rightly fair, because he's run his risk for th' lot. But wouldst like it, lass? There was a trace of the old vitality in his shrivelled features, as he laid this offering on the altar of her feminine charm.

"And mind," 'e says, "I've bought that mattress, bought it as it stands, and it's got nothing to do with Jimmy. We'll each pay a pound and halve wot's in it." He persuaded me at last, but that boy watched us like a cat watching a couple of canaries, and I could see we should 'ave all we could do to deceive 'im.

The short seventh they halved in nine. The eighth, always a tricky hole, they took no liberties with, James, sinking a long putt with his twenty-third, just managing to halve. A ding-dong race up the hill for the ninth found James first at the pin, and they finished the first nine with James one up. As they left the green James looked a little furtively at his companion.

True, the means of communication are more rapid the line is more direct, and by using the Grand Transasiatic which puts Pekin within a fortnight of the Prussian capital, the baron might halve the old time by Suez and Singapore but "He will never do it!" I exclaimed. "Why not?" asked Popof. "Because he is always late. He nearly missed the train at Tiflis, he nearly missed the boat at Baku "

Don't go back on me now or I shall go to pieces like the Drummond Castle. I beg your pardon, old man; but, you see, you do know the dog. I'll prove it. What's that dog doing? Come on! You know. A tremor shook him, and he put his hand on my knee, and whispered with great meaning: 'I'll letter or halve it with you. There! You begin.
