By ten o'clock the list of expenses had been compiled. By eleven o'clock it was decided what would be the cost of board and lodging for an adult a little being added on to that for visionary extras soap, light, towels, and suchlike, less visionary than others, but extras nevertheless.
"I don't let lodgings to anybody, but I will make an exception in your case to disabuse you of some of your mistaken notions. I will only ask you six pauls a day, and give you two good meals without wine." "Then you must give me fish and wine, I paying for them as extras." "Certainly; I have a Christian cook, and my wife pays a good deal of attention to the cooking."
My mouth is beginning to water. I'm sorry, dear." He kissed her to prove it. "But we oughtn't even to consider it." But at the door she stopped and looked back a risky business, as Lot's wife once proved. She surveyed the place with a lingering wishful glance. "I wonder if we couldn't make up the difference in rent by cutting down somewhere else. We could cut the extras in half.
War prices of course ruled in the British camp. But they compared very favourably with the famine prices in Quebec, where most 'luxuries' soon became unobtainable at any price.

At Drake's or Aaron's one pays twenty-five lire for common days, and thirty or thirty-five lire a day more for Sundays and feast days; add five lire a day more for extras, that will make forty, and there's an end of it." "I am afraid if we offer them double that we shall not procure a carriage." "Then they must put horses to mine. It is a little worse for the journey, but that's no matter."
