"The captain must be an utter brute." "I figger he's nine tenths man, an' the other tenth devil, but there ain't no human bein' can change any of them ten parts. Good-by. I'm thankin' you. My name's Harrigan." She opened the door for him. "If you wish to have that dressing changed, ask for Miss Malone." "Ah-h!" said Harrigan. "Malone!" She explained coldly: "I'm Scotch, not Irish."
It sounds unkind; but we must remember that there were six posts a day in London, that "each post brought its batch of letters," and that nine tenths of these letters so Carlyle says were from strangers, demanding autographs, and seeking or proffering advice.

When the blinds and curtains had been arranged for privacy, Mrs. Maldon sighed securely and picked up her crocheting.
He was practically a pioneer in the effective use of chords, arpeggio passages, octaves and tenths, double and triple harmonics and succession of harmonics in thirds and in sixths. His long fingers were of invaluable service to him in unusual stretches, and his fondness for pizzicato passages may be traced to his familiarity with the twang of his father's mandolin.
