"Don't want 'em," says one. "Be off," says another fiercely. Three-and-sixpence has been spent in vain the screens retire to Miss Clapp's bedroom, who persists in thinking them lovely.
"Those beests, Pump & Aldgate, once so cringing and umble, wrote me a threatnen letter because I overdrew my account three-and-sixpence: woodn't advance me five thousand on 25,000 worth of scrip; kep me waiting 2 hours when I asked to see the house; and then sent out Spout, the jewnior partner, saying they wouldn't discount my paper, and implawed me to clothes my account.
I'll make it five shillings, and that's three-and-sixpence more than the animal's worth. And that's my last word." Then Toad sat and pondered long and deeply. For he was hungry and quite penniless, and still some way he knew not how far from home, and enemies might still be looking for him. To one in such a situation, five shillings may very well appear a large sum of money.
Watch him on the platform on the Day of David the Saint. And all, dear me, out of J.D.'s Ritfit three-and-sixpence gents' tunic shirts. He considered a way, of which he spoke darkly to Millie, lest she might cry out his intention. "No use troubling," he said in a changed manner. "Come West and see the shops." Westward they two went, pausing at windows behind which were displayed costly blouses.
Batch had at any point overcharged the Duke; but how was he to know that she had not done so, except by checking the items, as was his wont? The reductions that he made, here and there, did not in all amount to three-and-sixpence. I do not say they were just. But I do say that his motive for making them, and his satisfaction at having made them, were rather beautiful than otherwise.
The dustman may dwell with his family in two rooms at three-and-sixpence per week; his equipment consists of a slop, corduroys, and a sou'-wester hat, which are sufficient to last many a day with little washing.
'Neither like you nor dislike you, brother; what will you have for that kekaubi? 'What's the use of talking to me in that unchristian way; what do you mean, young gentlewoman? 'Lord, brother, what a fool you are; every tinker knows what a kekaubi is. I was asking you what you would have for that kettle. 'Three-and-sixpence, young gentlewoman; isn't it well mended? 'Well mended!
The time had come for the expenditure of the sum of three-and-sixpence on what might well be supposed the last cab drive of Mrs Verloc’s mother’s life. They went out at the shop door. The conveyance awaiting them would have illustrated the proverb that “truth can be more cruel than caricature,” if such a proverb existed.
The end of it was that Captain Cai purchased an alpaca coat as well as a Panama hat, and having bidden "so long" to Mr Philp, and pocketed his three-and-sixpence, steered up the street in the direction of Rilla Farm, nervously stealing glimpses of himself in the shop windows as he went. As he hove in sight of the Custom House, however, this bashfulness gave way of a sudden to bewilderment.
She has no knowledge of geography, London's or otherwise, and is doubtless one of those people who think New Zealand is another name for Australia. She must give her a nice present; "nice" is underlined several times. She has heard that in the Edgeware Road there are to be had, complete in case, for three-and-sixpence, excellent clocks.
