WORD OF THE DAY - pittance PIT-ns, noun: 1. a small amount or share. 2. a small allowance or sum, as of money for living expenses. 3. a scanty income or remuneration. Each daughter can claim an income of 250 pounds, in case of marriage. It is evident, therefore, that if both girls had married, this beauty would have had a mere pittance, while even one of them would cripple him to a very serious extent. -- Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1892
