The remainder were occupied by a couple of other new-comers, and three oldsters, Carton, Hart, and Bayley.

Among the men of Rudolph Musgrave's generationthose gallant oldsters who were born and bred, and meant to die, in Lichfield,Patricia did not lack for admirers.

There were as many men as women, but four were oldsters and married people, and of these two were a rector and his wife.

Those other oldsters, Blow, Byrd, and Playford, were married men; and Arne, the composer of "Rule Britannia," married, at the age of twenty-six, Cecilia Young, an eminent singer in Händel's company, and the daughter of an organist.

We all had leave from the first lieutenant to go to Portdown fair, but he would only allow the oldsters to sleep on shore.

The oldsters are always holding up your glorious exploits to us newcomers.
