Description
Excerpt from The Finances of Sir John Kynnersley
And then an idea struck him - he gasped at first, his eyes sparkled, and he rose from his chair with a deep chuckle of amusement to put it into execu tion.
Now Mr. Ikestein, whose name (as that gentle man deeply regretted) did but betray his descent from the chosen people, was given to boasting that he made money out of anything. Unlike many self glorifying boasts this was strictly true - his busi ness dealings had been uniformly profitable - and it needed some such comprehensive word as any thing to include the many highways and byways Of commerce, most Of them Of a shady nature, in which he made the very large income his wife so as siduously spent. He usually described himself as a financier; but he was well known in Hatton Gar den, and he was registered at Somerset House as a money-lender.
