She's in debt all round; she hasn't a penny. It's really unbearable. One can't speak to papa about it.... But if you and he..." "Why, what can we do?" said Levin. "You'll be at Arseny's, anyway; talk to him, he will tell what we decided." "Oh, I agree to everything Arseny thinks beforehand. I'll go and see him. By the way, if I do go to the concert, I'll go with Natalia. Well, good-bye."
I have tried for fortune and failed, I am without a penny and without a hope. You seem poor, "I suppose you cannot much help me. Let me at least stay with you for a time, I know not where else to look for bread and for shelter." Oliver burst into tears, and cordially bade his brother welcome.
The extra penny stamp on cheques has been rather absurdly objected to as being likely to increase inflation.
When their mother called the family to breakfast half an hour later, Zeb had been shown the garden, the corn-field, the cow-shed, the pig-sty, the straw-stack where eggs were to be found, the well with its long well-sweep, and the samp-mill.

He ate whatever he could get, and slept wherever night overtook him in an old barrel, a cellar, or, when fortune favored him, he paid a penny for a cot in some rude lodging-house.

There will be no mosse stick to the stone of Sisiphus, no grasse hang on the heeles of Mercury, no butter cleave on the bread of a traveller. For as the eagle at every flight loseth a feather, which maketh her bauld in her age, so the traveller in every country loseth some fleece, which maketh him a beggar in his youth, by buying that for a pound which he cannot sell again for a penny repentance.
For months together I dared not eat a morsel of food, either in my own house, or in the house of my son-in-law. I feared poison; and I never partook of a dish until I had seen my daughter or my wife do so. To prevent a crime, I was obliged to resort to the strangest expedients.

The era of the greatness of the United States had hardly begun, while it was more than probable that the greatness, the power, of the Penny family faced an imminent destruction. His revolt at this, joining the more personal sense of the emptiness of his existence, filled him with a bitter energy, a determination to conquer, somehow, the obdurate facts hemming him in.
There are no men appreciate bravery more keenly than pitmen, for they themselves are ever ready to risk their lives to save those of others. Consequently a subscription, the limit of which was sixpence and the minimum a penny, was set on foot, and a fortnight later Jack was presented with a gold watch with an inscription.
