The Angel and the Author - and Others

CHAPTER XII
8/21

Here's twenty-seven pounds in gold and eighteen shillings in silver.

Coat and waistcoat, say another ten shillings.

Shirt and trousers--it's all right, I've got my pyjamas on underneath--say seven and six.

Boots--we won't quarrel--make it five bob.

That's twenty-nine pounds and sixpence, isn't it?
In addition here's a mortgage on the family estate, which I've had made out in blank, an I O U for fourteen pounds which has been owing to me now for some time, and this bundle of securities which, strictly speaking, belong to my Aunt Jane.
