morning, noon
Aunt Grace Mary slipped two sovereigns into her hand when they parted , but these Beth kept , she hardly knew why , as she had her half-year 's dividend to look forward to . About the time that her money was due , Dan began to talk incessantly of money difficulties . Bills were pressing , and he did not know where on earth to look for a five-pound-note . He did not think Beth too young to be worried morning , noon , and night on the subject , although she took it very seriously .

It was from her lawyer , and contained a cheque for twenty-five pounds , the long-looked-forward-to pocket money . `` Will this be of any use to you ? ''
