However, K , as usual, came to my assistance by financing me to the extent of seven-and-sixpence! How was I to keep the tools in the necessary sharpened condition.
When we returned a detachment of us went down to the shop in the village for Eiffel Tower lemonade. We bought seven-and-sixpence worth; then we made a great label to say what the bar was for.

"Well, then, put another piece in," replied Mrs Beazeley. "Yes; so I will; but I've a notion I shall be out of pocket by this job. Seven-and-sixpence won't pay for labour and all.

I nivver gave thee a bit o' advice better worth seven-and-sixpence than that is." "What does ta mean?" "I'll tell thee.
