*HUGS* OMG, you rule times a million! Please, go on if you want to! XD
Holmes mentions that a single woman can live very comfortably on £60 a year, and Miss Sutherland replies that she "could do with much less than that."
Oh yeah! I forgot about that. I wonder if it's meant to make highlight her modesty and sensibleness or something.
and then of course there's the staggering £6000 check from the Duke in PRIO.
Holy moly! £5000 a year "and over" is the highest tier in the 1861 census table I was using in this post. The discrepancy between how much different things cost boggles me - £8000 bought you a double box at Her Majesty's Opera House.
I don't suppose you have any idea what Mary's six pearls would have been worth
I have no idea, unfortunately. Nothing I've read has mentioned how much jewelry was worth.
Thank you for commenting with all this! I'm so delighted XD
