Gradually, however, we diverged from l a w to £ s. d.; and the upshot of it is, that he will advise his lordship to take £250 and be done with it. It's a bore; but I did it for the best, and shall be glad now to know your wishes on the subject. Meanwhile, I remain, 'Yours very truly,

Old Davis was a man who had built up his own fortune, scraping tonnage together bit by bit, from the time when, as a captain, he had salved a crazy derelict and had her turned over to him by the underwriters in quittance of his claims.

This was the way in which Aunt Mary salved her conscience and saved her pride all at once.
Any doctor alive, if brought in, would bear witness that it incapacitated him. Also any man, who looks ahead, will fight for the pension which alone stands between him and the workhouse. With such arguments Nicky-Nan had salved his conscience; and his conscience had slept under them.
