Wednesday, July l8. This afternoon Ellen and I decided to try our hand at craw-fishing, as the contents of our larder were rather low. She got some meat from Mrs. Glass, and we set forth furnished with a pair of tongs in place of a landing-net. As we neared the rocks we saw two figures silhouetted against the rays of the setting sun which proved to be those of Mrs. Glass and her daughter Mrs.
The hopes, however, of the promoters have not been realised in this respect; for while the expenses of the construction of the balloon have amounted, directly and indirectly, to the sum of L8,300, its two ascents in Paris and its exhibition in London produced only L3,300.
"If Doris spends a hundred thousand on a joint annuity, as she threatens to do, they will have about L8,000 a year." "Goodness! what a lot to have to spend in twelve months!" "And, of course, Lancaster, though he will have retired from business, will have quite a decent income of his own when the mines come round again." "Well, I prophesy that they will both be fairly happy. Mrs.
Parliament was called upon to appropriate L8,000,000 to defray the cost of the Afghan and Zulu wars. When Mr. Gladstone's government retired from office, there was a surplus of over L3,000,000, but the budgets of 1878 and 1879 both showed large deficits.
Among others, to my mercer, to pay for my fine camlott cloak, which costs me, the very stuff, almost L6; and also a velvet coat-the outside cost me above L8. And so to Westminster, where I find the House mighty busy upon a petition against my Lord Gerard, which lays heavy things to his charge, of his abusing the King in his Guards; and very hot the House is upon it.
We are glad to notice they are driving the sheep more quietly this year, and keeping the dogs more at heel. Yesterday Mrs. Henry Green came to tea; she still rarely leaves the house. We carried her off to see the lantern views; on the whole she seems in better spirits. Saturday, July l8. Last night we had Charlotte, Lily, and Ruth Swain into supper. Charlotte resembles a Swede in appearance.
Kirton is utterly undone, and made 2 or L3000 worse than nothing, from being worth 7 or L8,000. That the goods laid in the Churchyarde fired through the windows those in St. He do believe there is above; L50,000 of books burned; all the great booksellers almost undone: not only these, but their warehouses at their Hall, and under Christchurch, and elsewhere being all burned.
Then get off the line, and stay there! THE JOVIAL VOICE. Yes, sir. THE EAGER VOICE. I am O.C. Beer Company. They are shelling my front parapet, at L8, with pretty heavy stuff. I want retaliation, please. THE JOVIAL VOICE. Very good, sir. Whish! Whish! Whish! SECOND CHATTY SIGNALLER. Did ye hear that, Jimmy? Mphm! That'll sorrt them! THE F.O.O. Is that C Battery? THE JOVIAL VOICE. Yes.
After this discourse ended, he begun to tell me that he had now pitched upon his day of going to sea upon Monday next, and that he would now give me an account how matters are with him. He told me that his work now in the world is only to keep up his interest at Court, having little hopes to get more considerably, he saying that he hath now about L8,000 per annum.
The men will probably not be back till the small hours of the morning, which will make a working-day of nearly twenty-four hours for them, as they were up very early digging potatoes for the whaler. Monday, January l8. The men failed to catch the whaler on Saturday night. I suppose the captain had given them up and moved further out.
