flimsies

Letters were letters in those days, and not the notes and cards and "flimsies" of to-day.

In this particular case two good terms make a bad one, as both soft and flimsies used separately refer to good notes.

If there are no flimsies, the leaf opposite a plate often shows a set-off from it and is sometimes specially badly foxed.

"I'd better take these two notes away," he said, beginning to fold up the flimsies.

The grey editor with a gruff voice threw over a bundle of flimsies.
