Official Expenses

Corruption is an
Expense.

Expense of an Executive Chief called President £5,000
a year. Expense of an Executive Chief called King £1,000,000.
a year — difference £995,000 a year. Now then this said
£995,000 suppose it settled and provided: comes then the
question — how to dispose of it to the best advantage?
As to Ask Economy, This and this is what she says: Leave the
money when it is in the pockets from which would have
been taken. But if it must be taken, send it regularly
in a box to Toulon, and without being opened, let the box
be Cast cast somewhere into the sea, where it cannot be fished up.

this then will be net profit; for, given as the
Charter Charterists would give it, harm and pure harm
would be the fruit of every penny of it.

barrow on one side of her, & that barrow full of
cats meat. There stand the pusses, tail, & eyes uplifted
to the barrow — How affectionate! how how reverential: what
would they not, every one of them do for the old gentlewoman,
to make himself agreeable?
