"If I give you as much satisfaction as you give me there'd be no trouble on that score."

"Not enough money left? How much have you?"
"Five and eightpence halfpenny, to be precise." Miss Gibb changed countenance. "Five and eightpence halfpenny! That's not much."
"No one can appreciate the fact better than I do."
"But however come you to have so little?"
"I hadn't much when I came, and I suppose I've been extravagant."
"You have been that."
"You see,"--despite herself Nora sighed--"I haven't been used to economy."
