Item Information

Title:
The sailor and the banker : Or, the firm in danger
Title (alt.):
A note of hand
Description:
A smart sailor of the period, returning to shore with prize money galore, and a watch, chain, and seals in either fob, neat silver shoe-buckles, and a spic-span rig-out, is calling to cash a twenty-pound note on a banker, who is negligently looking at the ceiling. The honest tar, who probably thinks the amount of the draft he has to draw a veritable fortune, is evincing his consideration for the man of finance 'I say, my tight little fellow, I've brought you a Tickler ! A draught for twenty pounds, that's all ! But don't be downhearted, you shan't stop on my account ! I'll give you two days to consider of it.'
