His grandmamma gave him armfuls of coppers, some so green with copper-rust they left tattoos on the palms of his hands. She saved them up in the same Chockfull of Nuts coffee tin she made Christmas pudding in. She cinched an elastic-band round the mouth of the tin, the same tin she cooked beans and gravy in, to keep the copper-rusted coppers from tinkling out and leaving greenish green tattoos on the palms of her hands. His grandmamma made things in the same Chockfull of Nuts tin she made beans and gravy in, the same one she saved up coppers in to give to her grandson in armfuls.
