As they got in Lady Enid, after giving the direction, said to the cabman, who was a short person, with curling ebon whiskers, a broken-up expression and a broken-down manner: "Drive slowly, please and I'll give you an extra six-pence." "Lydy?" "Drive slowly, and I'll give you another six-pence." "How did yer think I was gawing to drive, lydy?"
Why, blime me, mite, this here's the worst bleedin' job in the Army; a man digs till the sweat rolls off, and all he gets for it is a bleedin' shilling, and he has to give six-pence of that to the old woman; blime, it doesn't leave ye enough for bacca, and all the fellas think this is a bomb-proof job why, blime, you dig and sweat for days, and Fritz sends along a blinkin' torpedo and fills up the tunnel, and there's all your hard work gone to 'ell, and you with it too if you 'appen to be around," and believe me I found out that most of what he told me was true, and sapping was no bomb-proof job.
"I know all about that," Williams assented, "but this time, Tallente, there's something in it. The Chief quarrelled with you for the sake of the old gang. Well, he made a bloomer. The old gang aren't worth six-pence. They're rather a hindrance than help to legislation, and when they're wanted they're wobbly, as you saw this afternoon. Lethbridge went into the lobby with you."
Benedict built in 1517, much famed during the ligue, where the assassination of Henri III was applauded by Jean Boucher in his sermons. The performances are vaudevilles and melodramas. Highest price two shillings, lowest six-pence. We now re-enter the Rue de la Harpe, and notice the Royal College St.
Besides, he added with a philosophical air, six-pence a week for a year was much better than a shilling a week for six months. Erebus clamored to have its full complement of thirty kittens made up; but the Terror maintained very firmly his contention that twenty-three was quite enough. Everything was working smoothly.
"Well, here is a penny for you, and when you learn to read, come to me and I will give you six-pence and a book with fine pictures in it." He gave Diamond a card with his address on it. "Thank you," said Diamond and put the card into his pocket.
Dymock, to show you that I am a man of honour, I will pay you at this moment four hundred pounds in the King's gold, and the remainder, that is, the one hundred and ninety-four pounds, ten shillings, and six-pence, shall be put to arbitration; we will go over each item, you and I, and a friend of each, and we will examine every article together, and if it is decided that the things are worth the moneys, well and good, it shall be so, and I will forthwith pay down the residue, though not compelled so to do by bond or signature."
No man can be a member of either House who is in the receipt of a six-pence of the public money under the Executive; and, what is more, he cannot receive any of the public money, in the shape of salary, during the time for which he has been elected, if the office from which the salary is derived has been created or its income increased since his election. This is the case in America.
PHILIP BLAKE, P.P. Micky Hicky 0 7 6 "He might as well have made ten shillings: but half a loaf is betther than no bread." "Plase your reverence," says Mick, from the body of the chapel, "sure seven and six-pence is more than the half of ten shillings." "Oh! how witty you are. 'Faith, if you knew your duty as well as your arithmetic, it would be betther for you, Micky."
The daily life of people at continual handgrips with starvation, their little points of honour, their little questions of precedence, the infinite generosity that concerns itself with the expenditure of six-pence, the odd shifts they resort to that a gift may not have the appearance of charity, all these are set down with a tenderness of laughter that is peculiarly and distinctively Irish.
