Examples

"Don't talk to me of agreements! You could has helped it!" the Squire snared. "Only you would go on! You went in against my advice! And for the agreement, who but a fool would has signed such an agreement? No, you may go, my lad. As you has brewed you may bake! You may go!" (Weyman)

None of them seemed the least ashamed of never having a word to throw at anyone outside the pocket, except its owner, and the rest of Europe seemed by common consent to take no notice of them. And all the while each one, and the contents of its pocket, was, like enough - so thought Mr. Challis - the center of an incubation of memories that were to last a lifetime. "As they bake, so they will brew," philosophized Mr. Challis to himself, and clouded over a little as he remembered that he, too, was in the twenties. (Morgan)
