Every day six-and eight-horse teams, mostly dark gray and black, which are going to convey the state coaches of the Empress and the Grand-Duchesses, are going to and fro from the Kremlin to Petrofskoy.

The ships of the blockading fleet, however, saw her coming out about midnight, turned their big guns upon her, and sank her with six-and eight-inch projectiles before she could get into position.
Peter, 'Scheraggio.

And three. Can you do six-and three?" "Stop till I see, Mo." Aunt M'riar descended from above, and went into her bedroom. But she did not find six-and-three.
"How d'ye do, Bill?" added Jack. "Are you speak'ng to me, sir?" inquired the sailor. "Yes, Bill." "Then was your honor present when I was christened? I appear to have forgotten my name for the last six-and thirty years." "No use, you see," said Willis; "he is too old a bird to be caught by any of these dodges. But I have lost the thread of my discourse."
