Then he'll collect the thirty thousand reward from my guardians, quit the police force, and most likely start a saloon." "Thirty thousand's a hell of a lot of money," was Tim's nonchalant way of expressing his gratitude. "Not to me," Young Dick minimized his generosity. "Thirty thousand goes into a million thirty-three times, and a million's only a year's turnover of my money."
For the foreseeable future, our standing forces must remain much larger than voluntary methods can sustain. We must, therefore, extend the statutory authority to induct men for two years of military service. The second kind of measure concerns the rapid turnover of our most experienced servicemen.
I had the most distinct evidence of that at Vanebury." "There was a considerable turnover of votes, I suppose?" "Unquestionably, and amongst all classes." "Yes, that is encouraging, so far. But in view of the new franchise, it does not go nearly far enough. The idol must be overthrown." "Who is to do it?" Sydney asked. "That is hardly for me to say. But it will be done."
For though an English novel about France does not tell the truth about France, it does tell the truth about England; and more than half the histories never tell the truth about anything.

I was led into a comfortable, clean-smelling stall, with plenty of dry straw, and after a capital supper I lay down, thinking I was going to be happy.

His final word was that, the world was on the verge of a turnover, for good or ill he did not know, but, one way or the other, he was absolutely convinced that the turnover was coming.
It was never more than a turnpike; and now the gate is down, the toll-keeper dead, and his widow lives alone in the round-house. She opened the door to me a pleasant-faced old woman of seventy, in a muslin cap, red turnover, and grey gown hitched very high.
