 Jorrocks, 'that's all nonsense. Won't do in a 

 commercial country like this, at least only for 

 landowners, and folks wot don't understand 'ow 

 money makes money. I'll tell ye wot ye must 

 do,' continued Mr. Jorrocks, ' I '11 tell ye wot you 

 must do,' repeated he, boiling up, 'you must get 

 a set of hiiiterest tables, and charge every man 

 Jack on 'em five per cent, from the day the 

 subscription becomes due.' 



'Well, Sir, what you think right,' replied Mr. 

 Fleeceall. 



'Well, I thinks that right,' retorted Mr. 

 Jorrocks, adding: 'if I was to get over the left 

 wi' Bullock and Ulker, d' ye s'pose they wouldn't 

 charge me five per cent., or may be more ? 

 They 'd be werry unlike bankers i' general if they 

 didn't. Why should I give tick wi' the 'ounds ? '
