"Easily," they said.
"Good," he replied. "Then tell me what I've spent on my bally old stomach—on food."
"On food," they replied. "We find that you have spent on yourself an average of a pound a day for food. For five years that is, roughly, £1825."
"Roughly?" said the Nut.
"Yes. Counting one leap year, it would be £1826. But then you have entertained with some freedom, bringing the total to £3075."
"Yes," said the Nut. "And what about drinks?"
"We find," was the reply, "that on drinks your average has been eighteen shillings a day, or £1643 8s. 0d. in all."
"Good heavens!" said the Nut. "What a noble thirst! And clothes?"
"The item of clothes comes to £940," they said.
"Only three figures!" said the Nut. "How did I come to save that odd £60, I wonder?"
