Q. Is the nonpayment of a tradesman dishonourable?
A. No, for such a payment is not a "necessary." Payment only becomes a "necessary" when you bet with a man of your own order.
Q. Is it possible to do without money?
A. Yes, when you can live upon your acquaintances.
Q. From your last answers it would appear that money seems sometimes capable of being treated with levity. Can you give me an instance when cash is not a light subject?
A. Yes when it is under weight, and is, consequently, refused at your Banker's.
Q. What is the best method of obtaining the full value of a light sovereign?
A. By obtaining in return for it change in silver from a friend.
Q. Is silver of the same value as gold?
A. No, silver is a token; and in the instance to which I have referred, it would be a token of confidence.
