Once the reader understands what kind of charade the characters are discussing, then he or she will comprehend why Harriet is creating a book of charades and will relate Harriet’s new hobby to such contemporary activities as collecting autographs or scrapbooking.

His sense of her inferiority -- of its being a degradation -- of the family obstacles which judgment had always opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to the consequence he was wounding, but was very unlikely to recommend his suit.

As with U. S. currency there were coins: A crown was 5 shillings and a half crown half that; there was also a sixpence, and a farthing (a quarter penny). (Ferguson 411-12) Plagiarized Version: Plagiarized Version: –Since 1971 the pound has been based on a decimal system, with 100 pence in each pound. Before 1971 the pound was made up of 20 shillings and each had 12 pence. Like U.S. currency there were coins in the English system. A crown had 5 shillings and a half crown half that....

22. Better Paraphrase –Since 1971 the pound has been decimal, with 100 pence. Before then, it was divided into 20 shillings, and shillings into 12 pence. As with U. S. currency there were coins: A crown was 5 shillings and a half crown half that; there was also a sixpence, and a farthing (a quarter penny). (Ferguson 411-12) –For centuries, the English pound was made up of 20 shillings, each of which was worth 12 pence. Then in 1971, the basis for the pound was converted to an easier-to-use decimal system. Pounds, instead of being comprised of 240 pence, are now worth 100 pence. Like most other monetary systems, the British system has included coins. For example, each crown was originally worth 5 shillings. Half a crown was worth 2½ shillings. Other British coins were the farthing, which is one fourth of a penny, and the sixpence. (Ferguson 411-12)
