text_original: It was not that Mr. Bull was incapable of managing his financial affairs if only he would turn his attention to the subject, but he liked to lead a quiet and jolly life, and was too apt to trust overmuch to those whom he believed his faithful servants. He was ' A boon companion, loving his bottle and his diversion ; for, to say truth, no man kept a better house than John, nor spent his money more generously.'
