Our first business was to compare our stock. He was very honest to me, and told me his stock was pretty good when he came into the prison, but the living there as he did in a figure like a gentleman, and, which was ten times as much, the making of friends, and soliciting his case, had been very expensive; and, in a word, all his stock that he had left was #108, which he had about him all in gold.
Notre premier soin fut de comparer nos fonds; il eut beaucoup d'honnêteté et me dit que son fonds avait été assez fourni quand il était entré en prison, mais que de vivre là comme il l'avait fait, en façon de gentilhomme, et, ce qui était bien plus, d'avoir fait des amis, et d'avoir soutenu son procès, lui avait coûté beaucoup d'argent, et en un mot il ne lui restait en tout que 108£ qu'il avait sur lui en or.
