Anyway, I shall chuck it when flat racing comes again. My father's getting restive. I shall have to do something pretty soon." Raymond stayed for an hour and was again urged to give a bachelor-supper before he married; but he declined. "Shan't chuck away a tenner on a lot of wasters," he said. "Got something better to do with it."
If another train comes up, give it Lord Rockingham's compliments and say he'll thank it to stop, because collisions shake his trumps together. Man thought us mad; took tenner though, shunted us to one side out of the noise, and we played two rubbers more before they'd repaired the damage and sent us on to town."
As a dealer, he was a hard nut, never giving more than a "tenner" for a twenty pound beast, or selling a ten pound one for less than twenty pounds. And few knew Donovan better than did Dad, or had been taken in by him oftener; but on this occasion Dad was in no easy or benevolent frame of mind.

By the way, send me, at once, another 'tenner' for expense, and some money for my own regular bills. I can make great play on the two frolicsome maids. They are up for a lark. The shy bird keeps her rooms; and there really seems to be no young man around.
If any of you has got twenty-five pahnd abaht him if you've got even a tenner why, you've only got ten bob well, you can't exactly have a gamble for ten bob, but you can 'ave a bit o' fun, anyway. If you take my advice it's 'ere on this bit o' paper you can 'ave it for a bob I can give you three 'orses that'll turn your ten bob into a tenner see? Some people tell you Tetratema's going to win."

In the crush there he was separated from her a little, but she was soon beside him again; and more than ever he congratulated himself that nothing had occurred to upset her and spoil the day. Her cheeks were warm enough now, her dark eyes glowing. She was excited no doubt by thoughts of the race, and of the 'tenner' he was going to put on for her. He recounted the matter afterwards to Mrs. Ercott.
'Yes, sir; know the Seraph, sir; leastways, did, sir, afore he died; see him once at Moulsey Mill, sir; his "one two" was amazin'. Waters soon threw up the sponge. We were all dying with laughter, and I tossed him a tenner. 'There, my good fellow, said I, 'shunt the carriage and let us finish the game.
