Danglars was one of those men born with a pen behind the ear, and an inkstand in place of a heart. Everything with him was multiplication or subtraction.

"Five years, Betty?" he repeated, dwelling on the numeral. Betty hesitated and looked thoughtful.
The marking system of that time gave the numeral 4 as a maximum, with which standard 2.5 was a "passing average." He who reached that figure, as the combined result of his course of recitations and stated examinations, passed the test, and went on, or was graduated.

The late King David did it; he was human, and hence immoral. The late King Edward VII was not beyond suspicion: the very numeral in his name has its suggestions. Millions of others go the same route.... Ergo, Up, guards, and at 'em!
Coming boldly up to her, the ragged man laid upon the shelf of the wicket his precious bill it was now wadded into a greenish-yellow wisp like a sprig of celery top and said simply, "One!"
