A poor but worthy old couple had a rare stroke of luck. Some relative died and left them a fortune of £2O. The night of the arrival of the lawyer’s letter telling them of their good fortune they sat up late, discussing the future and what they were to do with the great sum they had inherited. When they had done and were arising to go to bed, the old man said, with a grand air of magnanimity, "Weel, I suppose, Janet, this’ll mak’ nae difference. We’ll just speak to the neebours as before.”
