proceeded TO second shop, again the lady borrowed
sum of money equal TO what she had left, and paid
away another shilling; they proceeded to third shop,
and again shs borrowed much rs se still possessed
and paid away third shilling, when she found that
she had not any money left. What was the amount
Of money the lady hnd first, and what were the sums
