18/45 This sounds very fair, but still there are matters to be considered which throw something of a damp upon the scheme. I do not expect that aunt will sink more than 150_l_. in such a venture; and would it be possible to establish a respectable (not by any means a _showy_) school, and to commence housekeeping with a capital of only that amount? As to getting into debt, that is a thing we could none of us reconcile our mind to for a moment. We do not care how modest, how humble our commencement be, so it be made on sure grounds, and have a safe foundation. |
