I loved it that an officer got pushed in the river. seems comedic.
My own morals are that anyone with ‘boxes and boxes of sovereigns’, especially in 1878, has done things I would not approve of. Cruelty to sheep, exploiting the workers, profiteering, etc., and they were dumb to load them onto a boat in the first place.
4 years in 1878 Pentridge must have seemed like 40 though.
Another great post MR, thanks.
