I brought Goldsmith the money, and he discharged his rent, not without rating his landlady in a high tone for having used him so ill.
Страница 52 - Well done, my good boy," returned she; "I knew you would touch them off. Between ourselves, three pounds, five shillings and twopence is no bad day's work. Come, let us have it then." "I have brought back no money," cried Moses again. "I have laid it all out in a bargain, and here it is...
