Among others, how she, in his absence in Ireland, did pawne all the things that he had got in his service under Oliver, and run of her own accord, without her husband's leave, into Flanders, and that his purse, and 4s. a week which his father receives of the French church, is all the subsistence his father and mother have, and that about L20 a year maintains them; which, if it please God, I will find one way or other to provide for them, to remove that scandal away.
Davy for something which Sir W. Batten and I did tell him yesterday, but I endeavoured to make the least of it, and so all was put up. At noon to the 'Change, and among other businesses did discourse with Captain Taylor, and I think I shall safely get L20 by his ship's freight at present, besides what it may be I may get hereafter.
Dr Weakling pointed out that as the proposed alterations would cost about L175 according to the estimate of the Borough Engineer and, the rent being only L20 a year, it would mean that the Council would be L75 out of pocket at the end of the five years; to say nothing of the expense of keeping the place in repair during all that time.

They tell me that if you want to do anything on the Sunday the pull will be the other way." "I stand to lose over L20,000 already," said Silverbridge, almost frightened by the amount.

It must be yet more "galling" for Queens, because they always have been more flattered, and are imaginative enough to fancy that in grasping the symbols they hold the power. But I do not believe that the royal lovers took deeply to heart these disagreeable matters at this time. I hope they didn't mourn much over the L20,000 they didn't get.
