I set no value on the package, which I prepaid. "Now then," said the station-master, "he'll go all right, if the express agent on the train will take him."

The cost of a reply to a telegram may be prepaid. About the newspaper post, the book post, and the parcel post, not much need be said. Always be careful about wrappers. A great many newspapers and books escape from their wrappers every day, and land in the returned letter office.
The child that had been prepaid by that wedding pension, who was to rally the Jacobites round a man whose claims must otherwise devolve legitimately in a few years to the Hanoverian usurpers, the heir was not born, and, as month went by after month, its final coming became less and less likely. Nor was this all.
"I could at least telegraph to her mother, with a prepaid reply," put in Miss Phillips. "Oh, do please do!" begged Marjorie; and the affair rested at that. "Now," said Ethel, anxious to change the subject, "let's talk about our Hallowe'en party. It's only a little over a week off!"
