Now, think the matter over carefully.” “ Well, there is no difficulty in that bill; why, of course, 35,” answered Jack promptly. ‘ ‘You are wrong, Jack. The bill amounted to only 2s 3d.” “ How do you account for that? ” “ Why, there wecr only three persons—father, son, and grandfather. Throe at 9d per head is 2s 3d.”
