"I didn't feel sure that you regarded brains as an essential." "Indeed! Then you were a long way from understanding me. How can you say that, after my lecture, and our talks?" "Oh, theory doesn't go for much. May I call shortly?" "If you will be so good." "She's very young, I think?" "Not much more than one-and-twenty. I have known her for about three years." There was a short silence, then Mrs.
I will tell you what happened when I was a lad of one-and-twenty before you were a year old, Kitty: think of that! I fell in love with a woman some years older than myself. She was a barmaid. Can you fancy me now in love with a barmaid? I find it hard to imagine, myself. I married her, Kitty. Before we had been married six weeks I discovered that she drank.
In the English mint, a pound weight of gold is coined into forty-four guineas and a half, which at one-and-twenty shillings the guinea, is equal to forty-six pounds fourteen shillings and sixpence. An ounce of such gold coin, therefore, is worth £ 3:17:10½ in silver.
You would find after your education in doing things slackly for one-and-twenty years great difficulties in study; you would find mortifications in the treatment you would get when you presented yourself on the footing of skill. You would be subjected to tests; people would no longer feign not to see your blunders. You would at first only be accepted on trial.
In the year 1741-2, being then one-and-twenty years of age, he left Ullerton. It is my ancient mariner's belief that he ran away from home, after some desperate quarrel with his father; and it is also the belief of my ancient that he stayed away, without intermission, for twenty years, though on what precise fact that belief is founded is much more than I can extract from the venerable proser.
And the sweet old thing answered, half nervously, half jokingly, "You don't know? What a child it is, to be sure! So you don't remember what day it is?" "What day? The fifth of Nov oh, my birthday! I had clean forgotten it, Auntie." "Yes, and you are one-and-twenty for tea-time. That's why I asked you to be home."
My mother replied that if anybody could deserve her John, it was Lorna; but that she could not hold with the rashness of giving up money so easily; while her next-of-kin would be John himself, and who could tell what others, by the time she was one-and-twenty?
"It's a shame to wake him," thought Jerry; "cup o' tea's a fine thing when you're tired out, but a good long sleep's a deal better. Poor chap, I won't disturb him, but I'll take the tea in and put it on a chair by his bedside. He shall see as I didn't forget him in trouble. On'y to think him a real gent with a handle to his name and lots of money to come in for when he's one-and-twenty.
I was a childish boy of one-and-twenty who knew nothing, and to whom the world was astonishingly new. Doubtless before my soul was given to me it had been plunged deep in Lethe, and so an almost virgin man I stood in front of a virgin world. Engin is not far from Paris, and the French country seemed to me like a fairy-book.
It seemed indeed time to wish for a removal, for he was already a schoolboy of one-and-twenty. His relation, Dr. Montague, was then Master of the college in which he was placed a Fellow-Commoner, and took him under his particular care. Here he commenced an acquaintance with the great Newton, which continued through his life, and was at last attested by a legacy.
