The History of Samuel Titmarsh

CHAPTER X
15/21

But if anything can console me for the loss of that worthy man, it is to think that his children and widow will receive, at eleven o'clock next Saturday, 5,000_l_.

from my friend Mr.
Titmarsh, who is now head clerk here.

As for the accident which has happened to Messrs.

Shadrach and Meshach,--in _that_, at least, there is nothing that can occasion any person sorrow.

On Saturday next, or as soon as the particulars of their loss can be satisfactorily ascertained, my friend Mr.Titmarsh will pay to them across the counter a sum of forty, fifty, eighty, one hundred thousand pounds--according to the amount of their loss.
