[In Luck at Last by Walter Besant]@TWC D-Link bookIn Luck at Last CHAPTER X 7/29
There's nearly a hundred and twenty thousand pounds and a small estate in the country.
Don't let us trouble about the estate more than we can help.

And you've got two hundred of it already, haven't you ?" "Yes, but what is two hundred out of a hundred and twenty thousand? A hundred and twenty thousand! There's spending in it, isn't there, Lotty? Gad, we'll make the money spin, I calculate! It may be a few weeks before the old lady transfers the money--I don't quite know where it is, but in stocks or something--to your name.

We'll remember that you've got a sweetheart or something in America, and you'll break your heart for wanting to see him.
