'Tis a shilling for this, half-a-crown for that; if you only eat one egg, or even a poor windfall of an apple, you've got to pay; and a bunch o' radishes is a halfpenny, and a quart o' cider a good tuppence three-farthings at lowest reckoning. Nothing without paying!
'Whew! said he, 'and enough to make any Christian sweat! You're in a bath, Harry. I wouldn't expect the man who murdered his godmother for one shilling and fivepence three-farthings the other day, to take such a slinging, and think he deserved it. My power of endurance had reached its limit. 'You tell me, sir, you had this brutal story from the Lord-Lieutenant of the county?
The loaf is at twopence three-farthings, and I consume one a day. Any one of these, with a due allowance of bread and water, makes a most substantial meal. Butter I have discarded for the present.

Four and eleven-pence three-farthings in Edgware Road, and my old lace veil, and one of the paste buttons you gave me at Christmas, and some roses off last year's hat, and Margot's clever fingers, and my pretty face! Do you think I am pretty still?" "I should rather think I do!"
Come in; it is so cold here. 'For you, ay; but I'm as warm's a pie, see, wi' my new fur cape four an' elevenpence three-farthings at the Polytechnic. Isn't it a beauty, an' dirt cheap?
It's my belief, Dove, that they're short of funds, for when I went yesterday to ask for the trifling loan of tenpence three-farthings to pay the cobbler for Tommy's boots, Miss Mainwaring said, as pretty as you please, but very prim and firm 'I haven't really got the money, Mrs.
