A bull may be introduced that is a great Getter of bull calves, yet the change may not be to the advantage of the owner, as the female calves will not be bred of so high an order.
"Cattle and Cattle-breeders"
William M'Combie
On the plea that a new money-Getter was needed for Rome in Antony's place, Octavius easily roused public feeling into a clamor that Egypt be invaded, Antony overthrown, and Cleopatra put to death.
"Superwomen"
Albert Payson Terhune
But this is logomachy: and in fact a well-willing reader can get very fairly excited while the Cavalier is escaping after Marston Moor; while it is doubtful whether the savages have really come and what will be the event; while it is again doubtful whether Moll is caught or not; or what has become of those gains of the boy Jack, which can hardly be called ill-gotten because there is such a perfect unconsciousness of ill on the part of the Getter.
