To return to my business affairs.

When I was comfortably settled in the prison, and knew exactly what I owed, I thought it my duty to my father to give him the first chance of getting me out.

His answer to my letter contained a quotation from Shakespeare on the subject of thankless children, but no remittance of money.

After that, my only course was to employ a lawyer and be declared a bankrupt.

I was most uncivilly treated, and remanded two or three times.
