I was a prince incognito; my father had coined money and I gave my deluded listeners glimpses at pocket-pieces as proof; if I was doubted I fought.

Le Maistre!" cried another footman; "my lady's in the carriage, and Miss Nugent." "Miss Nugent! is she?" cried Mrs. Le Maistre, running down stairs, followed by Anne. "Now, for the world in pocket-pieces wouldn't I have missed seeing him hand Miss Nugent in; for by that I could have judged definitively." "My lord, I beg pardon! I'm afeard I'm late," said Mrs.

"Perhaps the strange man did not mean to give him the Confederate bill," went on Bert's father. "Some persons carry those old Southern bills as souvenirs, or pocket-pieces, and this man might have paid his out by mistake.
They had brought home several as pocket-pieces. "I'll wager Dan Baxter dropped that!" cried Tom. "He, or " "Josiah Crabtree!" finished Sam. "Yes, I am sure of it, for Dick brought none to Putnam Hall; I heard him tell the Captain so, when they were talking about coins one day." "Then in that case, either Baxter or Crabtree is responsible for this smash-up!" came from one of the other cadets.
