I believe she paid him to go back to Edinburgh. That Aberdeen man, who wanted to invest money in Kirkwall had to borrow two pounds from grandfather to take him back to where he came from.
The most Christian thing for you to do is to invest your money in the best way possible, and out of your business, industriously carried on, to contribute the largest possible percentage to the kingdom of God. Still, we must admire the manner in which the Great Physician took the diagnosis of this man's case and grappled it. We all need heroic spiritual treatment.
So be prudent and invest your money; don't give it away, for rainy days come to all of us, and dependence would be very hard for you to bear, answered Mrs Jo with a sage air, though she liked to see that the money-making fever had not seized her lucky boy yet. Dan shook his head, and glanced about the room as if he already found it rather confined and longed for all out-of-doors again.

Your son, Alfonso, I have already met, once. I thought that perhaps you might be able to give me some advice." She looked at us keenly, but said nothing.

The conscience of an honest man, I said, 'is a better security than the Funds. Mongenod looked at me fixedly as I spoke, and seemed to be inlaying my words upon his heart.

Brimsdown imagined nearly £50,000 in fact. It was at Robert Turold's suggestion that Mr. Brimsdown undertook to invest the sum at better rates of interest, and thus, before a year had passed, the whole of Robert Turold's business affairs were in the hands of the solicitor.
