We'll pay you." "How much ?" asked Priscilla.
This question was referred to me, and I offered sixpence a day.
The money in this place is English, of course, as it is an English colony; but there are so many visitors from the United States, that American currency is as much in use, for large sums, as the pounds-shillings-and-pence arrangement.

But all sums under a quarter are reckoned in English money,--pennies, half-pennies, four, six and eight-pences, and that sort of thing.

One of our quarters passes for a shilling, but a silver dime wont pass in the shops.

The darkeys will take them--or almost anything else--as a gift.

I didn't have to get our money changed into gold.
