'I'll sell you to them like a dozen of nylons' (Frank O'Connor to my aunt).

"This is an assurance from Michael O'Donovan (Frank O'Connor) to my aunt Kathleen Wyer: 'I'll sell you to them like a dozen of nylons' when she was going to work in London from the Irish library service. She may have asked him to act as a referee and they knew each other when she worked in the library in Ballsbridge."
