Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Adventures of Philip, Vol. 3 of 3: On His Way Through the World; Shewing Who Robbed Him, Who Helped Him, and Who Passed Him
What savings the Old man had I don't accurately know. He and his wife were very dark upon this subject with Philip: and when the general died, his widow declared herself to be almost a pauper. It was. Impossible that Baynes should have left much money but that Charlotte's share should have amounted to that sum which may or may not presently be' stated was a little too absurd! You see mr. And Mrs. Firmin. Are travelling abroad just now. When I wrote to Firmin to ask if I might mention the amount of his wife's fortune, he gave me no answer: nor do I like to enter upon these matters Of calculation without his explicit permission He is of a hot temper; he might on his return, grow angry with the friend Of his youth, and say, Sir, how dare you to talk about my private affairs? And what has the public to do with Mrs Firmin's private fortune?
