And at its end my gaffer just went away. He was to pay me ten shillings, but never a three-penny bit of all that siller did I see! It was cruel hard, and it hurt me sore, to think I'd worked sae long and so hard and got nothing for it, but there was no use greetin'. And on Monday I went doon into the pit again, but this time as a trapper. In a mine, ye ken, there are great air-tight gates.
To his surprise, the baker passed three great puffy rolls to him, enough for three men to eat at one meal. At first, he was puzzled to know what to do with them, whether to take all three or not. "What! All that?" he said, scarcely knowing what he did say. "Yes, there's three-penny worth; that is what you said, was it not?"
The lady faints away at the doors of charitable publicans, and the gentleman being accommodated with three-penny worth of brandy to restore her, lays an information next day, and pockets half the penalty. Sometimes Mr. Claypole faints himself, but the result is the same. Mr. and Mrs.
He hurried into the shop and asked for three-penny worth of bread. The baker gave him three great, puffy rolls. Franklin had not expected to get so much, but he took the rolls and walked out. His pockets were already full, and so, while he ate one roll, he held the others under his arms. As he went up Market street, eating his roll, a young girl stood in a doorway laughing at him.
Philip, throwing economy to the winds, smoked a three-penny cigar. "You can't imagine what a pleasure it is to me just to sit opposite and look at you. I've yearned for you. I was sick for a sight of you." Mildred smiled a little and faintly flushed. She was not then suffering from the dyspepsia which generally attacked her immediately after a meal.
"Now tell him," said Gordon, "that I come from the ruler of the greatest nation on earth, and that I recognize Ollypybus as the only King of this island, and that I come to this little three-penny King with either peace and presents, or bullets and war." "Have I got to tell him he's a little three-penny King?" said Stedman, plaintively.
Fitz Ball as the principal dramatic genius and poet of the day; but holds that there are great writers extant besides him,-in proof whereof he refers you to various dramas and melodramas recently produced, of which he takes in all the sixpenny and three-penny editions as fast as they appear. The theatrical young gentleman is a great advocate for violence of emotion and redundancy of action.
Evidently, he was not to escape surveillance; the official eye was on him! Supposing, before the day was out, the official hand was on him, too? He turned from the window as he heard his newspaper thrust under his door. He had only one luxury a copy of the Times every morning. It was a three-penny Times in those days, but he had always managed to find his weekly eighteen pence for it.
We rise in rebellion against a despotism incomparably more dreadful than that which induced the colonists to take up arms against the mother country; not on account of a three-penny tax on tea, but because fetters of living iron are fastened on the limbs of millions of our countrymen, and our most sacred rights are trampled in the dust.
Williams dropped two leaves of the cabbage, and got a playful rebuke from her. She said he must not waste them, as they were good and tender. By the way, we bought this cabbage with our last three-penny bit. We had sovereigns, but they are useless in this country, for there is no change. Their men had gone to Basutoland, like many more.
