“The Count strode away as if he had secured seven-league boots, and in less time than it seemed possible, though it was an age to Lady Anne […], he returned with two bank of England notes in his hand, which he put into the bailiff's, saying,—"There's your money for yourself and all. You have proper behavour, and will make no say of this littel matter."”
