My Father says so, and he ought to know.

We had several ideas about that time, but having so little chink always stood in the way.
This was the case with H.O.'s idea of setting up a coconut-shy on this side of the Heath, where there are none generally.

We had no sticks or wooden balls, and the greengrocer said he could not book so many as twelve dozen coconuts without Mr Bastable's written order.

And as we did not wish to consult my Father it was decided to drop it.

And when Alice dressed up Pincher in some of the dolls' clothes and we made up our minds to take him round with an organ as soon as we had taught him to dance, we were stopped at once by Dicky's remembering how he had once heard that an organ cost seven hundred pounds.
