You can almost see the frenzy with which he flung the would-be necklace at the wall, and kicked about and stamped upon its rapidly rolling beads. "Booty! That was what he was after; to find and carry away the poor needlewoman's supposed hoardings.
You cannot see these things as I can see them, nor can you figure unless you know the pictures that great artist Hyde has left the world the effect of the great hoarding by which we passed, lit below by a gas-lamp and towering up to a sudden sharp black edge against the pallid sky. Those hoardings! They were the brightest colored things in all that vanished world.
Triangular hoardings were wheeled along by men in white coats. Captain George Boase had caught a monster shark. One side of the triangular hoarding said so in red, blue, and yellow letters; and each line ended with three differently coloured notes of exclamation.
People look to the hoardings for information about their duty. Why don't we paste up the ten commandments on all the walls and all the 'buses, and be done with it?" "Now listen, Miss Watkins," persisted Miss Ford.
The hoardings of these miserly Canaanites God later gave to Israel to enjoy and to use. The Canaanites were not the only ones who did not enjoy their wealth and money, for a similar fate was decreed for Korah.

We pursued our way, and presently found ourselves at the back of the Café de l'Egypte. "There's the door," I said.

"Where the devil do they go?" he whispered.
Irishmen want to keep their hoardings secret. They like to walk about barefoot and have money in their stocking. An old woman who puts on and takes off her shoes outside the town has three sons high up in the Civil Service, and could lend you eight hundred pounds. You would take her for a beggar and might offer her a penny, and she'd take it. Have you noticed the appalling mendicancy of Ireland?
As the evening went on, the mob extended itself to Downing Street and the front of the Treasury Chambers, and before the night was over all the hoardings round the new Government offices had been pulled down. The windows also of certain obnoxious members of Parliament were broken, when those obnoxious members lived within reach.
