The other two went with 'im in case he lost 'imself, and stood there making nasty remarks while he messed 'imself up with a penn'orth of cold cream.

I'm awfully fond of fried potatoes; I can make a breakfast off a penn'orth of potatoes and a bunch of radishes. Yes, I'll have a pound of lard, please, Madame Quenu." Lisa placed a sheet of stout paper in the pan of the scales.
Four hundred and sixteen! Lordy God, what a lot! And if I get ten pounds every time it's done ... Oh-h-h! Four thousand, one hundred and sixty pounds! And then there'll be American rights and provincial rights.... I'll tell you what I'll do, coves! I'll buy you all a stick of barley-sugar each, or a penn'orth of acid-drops ... which 'ud you like?..."
"Gimme," said Dickie, leaning against the counter and pointing a grimy thumb at the wonder "gimme a penn'orth o' that there!" "Got the penny?" the shopman asked carefully. Dickie displayed it, parted with it, and came home nursing a paper bag full of rustling promises. "Why," said the Man Next Door, "that ain't seeds. It's parrot food, that is."
Well, they told me the old gal's clothes could easily be spoiled, and her doll's face and all, with a penn'orth of vitriol." "The monsters!" "But it was all brag. These things are threatened fifty times, for once they are done." "I shall not risk it. My own skin, if you like. But not hers: never, Mr. Cheetham: oh, never; never!" "Well, but," said Mr.
