too?'"--_Ib._, p. 135.

"This, however, is seldem [sic--KTH] if ever done unless the word following the possessive begins with _s_; thus we do not say, 'the prince' feather,' but, 'the prince's feather.'"--_Bullions, E. Gram._, p. 17. "And this phrase must mean _the feather of the prince_ but _princesfeather_ written as one word is the name of a plant: a species of amaranth."--See _Key_.

Gram._, p. 159; _Lennie's Gram._, p. 106.
