A braave tantara 'mongst the fam'ly, I tell 'e. Not a stiver all ate up in a 'nuity, an' her artful limb! just died on the last penny o' the quarter's payment. An' Lezzard left at the work'us door poor auld zawk! An' him fourscore an' never been eggicated an' never larned nothin'!" "To think it might have been your trouble, Blee!" "That's it, that's it! That's what I be full of!
'O, a man of wood, thought Nance. 'What what? said his lordship. 'Who is this? 'If you please, my lord, I am Holdaway's niece, replied Nance, with a curtsey. 'Should have been here himself, observed his lordship. 'Well, you tell Holdaway that I'm aground, not a stiver not a stiver. I'm running from the beagles going abroad, tell Holdaway.
"A stiver, or five Dutch cents, equal to less than two of our cents, is small enough. There are a great many poor people in Amsterdam who live entirely in cellars. As you have seen, a great many families live in vessels, keeping a pig, hens, and ducks on board, and sometimes even have a little garden on deck.
As a man of honor I can not deny them. They shall have every Jot and stiver of the property of John Law, even the million or so of good coin which he brought here to Paris with him. The coat on my back, the wheels beneath me, gold enough to pay for the charges of the inns through France that is all that John Law will take away with him."

Even the poorest people bought some thing new for their little ones on this day. Never did mothers braid their young daughters' hair more carefully, than for the procession at the opening of the fair. Spite of the hard times, many a stiver was taken from slender purses for fresh ribbons and new shoes, becoming caps and bright-hued stockings.
Proclamations and commissions followed hard upon each other, but it was not till April 1573, that the matter was definitely arranged. Before that day arrived, the commerce of the Netherlands had suffered, at the lowest computation, a dead loss of two million florins, not a stiver of which was ever reimbursed to the sufferers by the Spanish government.
Fred then went to show the immense blessing that mission ships had already been to the North Sea fishermen alike to their souls and bodies; but we may not follow him further, for Bob Lumsden and Pat Stiver claim individual attention just now. When these enterprising heroes observed that the shades of evening were beginning to fall, they rose to take their leave.
It isn't like selling sailing-ships. Steamers do get out of date, besides getting old." "He must have laid by a good bit of money though," observed Captain Whalley quietly. The Harbor-master puffed out his purple cheeks to an amazing size. "Not a stiver, Harry. Not a single sti-ver."
The leader of these robbers, the very man who had stopped him on the king's highway three hours ago and taken every stiver which he had brought away from Barnet; who had, with the help of these other scoundrels getting mad drunk on his brandy, taken away his horse and left him bound to a gate by the roadside because he would not be quietly robbed, but must make a fuss over it and fight and kick in a most unbecoming fashion, and without any regard for the numbers by whom he had been assailed.
The purse must have been at Ghysbrecht's saddle-bow, and Gerard rushing at his enemy, had unconsciously torn it away, thus felling his enemy and robbing him, with a single gesture. Gerard was delighted at this feat, but Margaret was uneasy. "Throw it away, Gerard, or let Martin take it back. Already they call you a thief. I cannot bear it." "Throw it away! give it him back? not a stiver!
