“But what Hecataeus says, that Exmas and Crissmas are the same, is not credible. For first, the pictures which are stamped on the Exmas-cards have nothing to do with the sacred story which the priests tell about Crissmas. And secondly, the most part of the Niatirbians, not believing the religion of the few, nevertheless send the gifts and cards and participate in the Rush and drink, wearing paper caps. But it is not likely that men, even being barbarians, should suffer so many and great things in honour of a god they do not believe in.”
In my universe, one of Mr. Potter’s employees found the $8,000 and made sure it got back to George, who then paid back all his friends. I love a happy ending!

What debt? I thought all the townspeople were giving that money to him, not lending it.

Also, never trust your drunken Uncle (aka your “druncle”). It never turns out well.
