“Let us know the number of cigarettes in it?” (l = 5.)
“There are five cigarettes.”
“Well, just say, if you please, what kind?” (w = v, j = i, s = r.)
“They are cigarettes of Virginia tobacco.”
Money should be designated by N, which, as you remember, is the code letter for M. The following will then come in handy:—
Gold is coded as 1, silver as 2, copper as 3, and paper as 4.
“Now, if you please, tell me what I have in my hand?”
“I see money.”
“Nature?” (n = 2 = silver.)
“Silver.”
