He wanted something to eat, and a glass of brandy to drink; and soon he was in front of the inn. He was just about to step in, when the hostler came out, so they met at the door. The hostler was carrying a sack. "What have you in that sack?" asked the peasant. "Rotten apples," answered the hostler; "a whole sackful of them enough to feed the pigs with."

He Confessed with almost as great regularity as he Sinned. The Chaplains must have held him as one of the heartiest of Penitents; for he never came back from a Cruise without a whole Sackful of Misdeeds, and straightway hied him to St. John's Church, to fling his Sinful Ballast overboard and lighten ship. How he swore!
There are two little boys who make enough noise to deafen the whole sackful of us." "Ah! I know them," said the learned grain. "And it's true they are noisy. Their names are Lionel and Vivian.

"No, it may possibly be only two or three days, and it may be a week." "Then I think that we can manage. If we have not flour enough here to spare, I can take my horse and fetch half a sackful from some other village."
"Do, please, for heaven's sake, relieve me of something!" said the courier. "I have a sackful of letters to parents." Among these letters was one from Nicholas Rostov to his father. Pierre took that letter, and Rostopchin also gave him the Emperor's appeal to Moscow, which had just been printed, the last army orders, and his own most recent bulletin.
You know it is harder to catch and to keep a young girl than a whole sackful of those lively, hopping little creatures which are my horror. Besides, a new idea has occurred to me, and I can hardly find patience to wait for its realisation. Guess, Richard!... I intend to take a trip round the world.
The fields had already been ransacked, and it was only here and there that he found a head of maize hidden in its brown cases. After a time the two Arabs joined in the search, and by nightfall a good-sized sackful had been collected.
