    Thank you so very much, thank you. It is, I am afraid, one hundred thousand pounds.” - this is the largest debt I've come across for a BC novel

    “When I look ahead I am sure I am right in thinking that you could and will become a Governor of one of our Colonies or perhaps the Viceroy of India.” - ah yes, who doesn't love colonizers.... ..... ..... 😒😒😒
