- (continued from previous page)xvii How would you write eleven thousands, eleven hundred and eleven in five figures
xix As round as an apple as deep as a cup all the men in Londonderry could not lift it up.

xxi It opens like a barn door and closes like a trap as many a thing you would think of before you would think of that.
xxii Black and white went up the ladder, black came down and white staid above.
xxiii A hard working father a lazey mother twelve black children all the one colour.
