As the cab stopped he said: "You must have mistaken a half-crown piece for a penny, Sir!"
车停住后，他对我说：“先生，你一定把这半克朗当作一个便士给我了！”

He asked me where I had been hiding all these years; and simultaneously repaid me the half-crown as though it had been borrowed yesterday.
他一边询问这些年来我都隐匿在什么地方；一边还给我那半克朗，仿佛这钱他昨天才刚刚借去。

There was to be a first prize of five shillings, and a second prize of a halfcrown, for the best collection of wild flowers, with their names upon them.
