    "“[…] You have a porous sponge, I hope?” I said to the shopkeeper. “Even if you haven’t any beautiful chairs and tables. Clear the gore away. This will help!” I tossed him a drakhma with a lordly air, and he subsided. […] For things lent I cannot possibly take recompense, and the things given were, I am ashamed to say, old and not of value. But give me two drakhmai if you wish, whenever you will, and we will say no more of it."
