[The Angel and the Author - and Others by Jerome K. Jerome]@TWC D-Link bookThe 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.
