Excerpt from Mill on the Floss, Vol. 2 of 3Eminently inconvenient to raise the said sum until that desirable issue had taken place, had rashly ao ceded to the demand that he should give a bill of sale on his household furniture, and some other effects, as security in lieu of the bond. It was all one, he had said to himself: he should soon pay off the money, and there was no harm in giving that security any more than another. But now the con sequences of this bill of sale occurred to him in a new light, and he remembered that the time was close at hand, when it would be enforced unless the money were repaid. Two months ago he would have declared stoutly that he would never be be holden to his wife's friends, but now he told himself as stoutly that it was nothing but right and natural that Bessy should go to the Pullets and explain the thing to them: they would hardly let Bessy's fur niture be sold, and it might be security to Pullet if he advanced the money - there would, after all, be no gift or favour in the matter. Mr Tulliver would never have asked for anything from so poor-spirited a fellow for himself, but Bessy might do so if She liked.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
