I had a berth in the middle of the car, and just as I was parting my curtains to lie down, old Melford came to take the lower berth opposite.
In the last few days I have got back one million and eight thousand pounds, that is to say the coal mine property and other money as well, one million and eight thousand pounds that would have been a dead loss only for me."
