When the dole was ended, laughingly she said, Master, of a million mouths, is not one unfed?
The Jungle Book by Kipling, Rudyard View in context
In the valley beneath lay the city they had just left, its more prominent buildings showing as in an isometric drawing--among them the broad cathedral tower, with its Norman windows and immense length of aisle and nave, the spires of St Thomas's, the pinnacled tower of the College, and, more to the right, the tower and gables of the ancient hospice, where to this day the pilgrim may receive his dole of bread and ale.
Tess of the d'Urbervilles - A Pure Woman by Hardy, Thomas View in context
And yet we were driven by the circumstance of cold and rainy weather to seek refuge in a saloon, where we had to spend part of our pitiful dole for drink.
