To my chamber, and my wife up to do something, and by chance we fell out again, but I to the office, and there we did at the board much business, though the most was the dividing of L5000 which the Lords Commissioners have with great difficulty found upon our letter to them this week that would have required L50,000 among a great many occasions.
I was told to-night that my Lady Castlemayne is so great a gamester as to have won L5000 in one night, and lost L25,000 in another night, at play, and hath played L1000 and L1500 at a cast. Thence to the Temple, where at Porter's chamber I met Captain Cocke, but lost our labour, our Counsellor not being within, Pemberton, and therefore home and late at my office, and so home to supper and to bed.
I must own to you, then, that L5000, which I had in the stocks, as well as a considerable sum in a banker's hands, I have parted with, as I now find for ever but I have no heart for refusal, nor would my sister at this moment be thus distressed, but that I have nothing more to give without I cut down my trees, or sell some farm, since all I was worth, except my landed property, is already gone.
Mel's deep voice. Evan faced her: 'My dear mother, you are very unjust and inconsiderate. I have been working and doing my best. I promise what do the debts amount to? 'Something like L5000 in all, Van. 'Very well. Youth is not alarmed by the sound of big sums. 'Very well I will pay it. Evan looked as proud as if he had just clapped down the full amount on the table.
"You are hereby empowered to draw for any sum that you may be in want of, not exceeding L5000. upon the Lords of His Majesty's Treasury, or upon such mercantile banking-house in London as you may fix upon. "I am, &c. "To Mungo Park, Esq. &c. &c. &c." The preparations for the expedition being now entirely completed, Park, together with Mr. Anderson and Mr.
Violent politicians are not the best raw material out of which to manufacture fortunate placemen." "The opinions do not so much matter; the expense does. I cannot afford L5000, or even L3000." "Would not Sir Peter assist? He has, you say, only one son; and if anything happen to that son, you are the next heir."
John Pickering is to be married this week, and to a fortune with L5000, and seen a rich necklace of pearle and two pendants of dyamonds, which Sir G. Carteret hath presented her with since her coming to towne, I home by coach, but met not one bonefire through the whole town in going round by the wall, which is strange, and speaks the melancholy disposition of the City at present, while never more was said of, and feared of, and done against the Papists than just at this time.
I to Sir Robert Viner's, where my main business was about settling the business of Debusty's L5000 tallys, which I did for the present to enable me to have some money, and so home, buying some things for my wife in the way.
Lady Racial had a notion of some excessive niggardly thrift in the widow, which was arousing symptoms of disgust. Mrs. Harrington quietly said: 'There are his father's debts to pay, my lady. 'His father's debts! 'Under L5000, but above L4000, my lady. 'Five thousand pounds! Mrs. Harrington! The lady's delicately gloved hand gently rose and fell. 'And this poor young man 'she pursued.
You have L5000 to pay to save your father from being called a rogue. You can only make the money in one way, which is open to you. This business might produce a thousand pounds a-year and more. In seven or eight years you may clear your father's name, and live better all the time than many of your bankrupt gentlemen. You have told the creditors you will pay them.
