Tobias nods, looking up as his son and offering him the seat opposite the fine mahogany desk. "Now, Charles, you realise being the head of the household is not all parties." He explained, passing over the accounts book. "It also involves careful bugdeting. You will have £70 a week, to spend on everything. Your mother and I have been quite generous with the sum, but if you feel you require more, do not hesitate to contact us." He explains.
"I have provided you with the costs of weekly expenses." Tobias says, gesturing for his son to open up the book. "You will notice that it comes only to £46, 5 shillings, and 3 pence. The remaining money is for repairs that might be needed, for items you have not anticipated. I would suggest you save the excess, but if you wish to spend it on your own leisure, that is your choice. But it all needs to be written down in that accounts ledger."
