Each stitch or tie was six inches apart, and was formed thus: Three holes were bored in the upper plank and three in the lower, the holes being above each other that is, in a vertical line. Through these holes the cord was passed, and when tied, formed a powerful stitch of three-ply.
But it is true that what he acquires by the discipline of study and the discipline of work will be available in his earning an honest living. Keep a man long enough in this three-ply discipline, and he will form permanent habits of well-doing. If he cannot and will not form such habits, his place is in confinement, where he cannot prey upon society.
As for the poor elder, God knows he has a hard enough time to live. He only gets five hundred dollars a year, and what the sewing circle does for him. Only last week the circle gave him new dresses for all his family, and a nice three-ply carpet, which I made for him.

Under Wilmshurst's directions they set to work to dismantle the machine, removing the planes as carefully and expeditiously as a party of crack mechanics from the Royal Air Force factories. One of the floats was badly smashed, but the other was practically intact except for a small jagged hole in the three-ply mahogany.
With a gravity equal to her own he took it. "What will you have?" "Let the spirit of Sears-Roebuck decide. Open at random and expound." He thrust a finger between the leaves and began: "Our Special, Fortified Black Fiber Trunk for Hard Travel. Made of Three-Ply Ven " "Oh, to have my trunks again!" sighed the girl. "Turn to something else. I don't like that. It reminds me of travel."
