Chelsea house at the breakfast-table which her two young daughters had quitted and which still awaited the always tardy appearance of her eldest son, had been making intricate calculations with the aid of a pencil and a scrap of paper, and had arrived at the depressing conclusion that when your resources amount rigidly to so much, while your expenditure, roughly estimated, amounts to so much more, an annual deficit must result. This vexed the poor plump lady and made her look a little less good-humoured than usual.
