The whole capital which Nicholas found himself entitled to, either in possession, reversion, remainder, or expectancy, after paying his rent and settling with the broker from whom he had hired his poor furniture, did not exceed, by more than a few half pence, the sum of twenty shillings. And yet he hailed the morning on which he had resolved to quit London, with a light heart, and Sprang from his bed with an elasticity of spirit which is happily the lot of young persons, or the world would never be stocked with Old ones.
