thrippence

This was Park's own allowance in the old days when he was a boy at the grammar school and Columbia was away down-town, about on line with the City Hall, and the boys lunched sumptuously at Shaddle's for thrippence; but Park had not to buy his shoes in those days, though he said he bought his gloves out of his little sum.

Thrippence—and a slice o' cake,' he added, perceiving that Dicky did not hesitate.

Wot! after me a-takin' you in when you was 'ungry, an' givin' you cawfy an' cake, an' good advice like a father, an' a bloater an' all, an' you owin' me thrippence a'peny besides, then you goes an'—an' takes yer findin's somewhere else!'

You'll owe thrippence a'peny now.'

Ye cann't reckon on moor nor thrippence,—an' your own expenses, i' coorse.
