It will be my ambition when my time comes to hand you over the property without a penny owing to anybody." "May that day be a long way off, sir," Charles said, with feeling.
Some of these letters, in themselves, have little more than ephemeral interest, and parts of other letters could have been eliminated, from the point of view of lightening this volume and of economising the reader's attention.
