I had a record player but Mum wouldn't have considered squandering six and eightpence from her housekeeping money on a Dusty Springfield single.

These are clearly children, for another boarder “sometime the serving woman of Robert fitz Elys” is mentioned and she pays eightpence a week.

Those that are only licenced physicians, their due is no more than six shillings and eightpence, though they commonly demand ten shillings.
