George Spiggott:
[having gotten Stanley's attention by mentioning a million pounds]
Your great-great-great grandfather, Ephraim Moon, sailed to Australia in 1782 on a ship of the Line. Set himself up as an apothecary. The business flourished, and by the time he died it was worth something in the region of 2,000 pounds - a large amount in those days. Stanley Moon:
Yes... George Spiggott:
Your great-great-grandfather, Cedric Moon, by skillful management and careful husbandry, increased that sum a hundredfold. This in turn was inherited by your great-grandfather, Desmond Moon, who expanded, diversified, and built up a personal fortune of well over a million pounds! Stanley Moon:
Oh!... it's a lot of money! George Spiggott:
A great deal of money, Mister Moon! And this gigantic sum was inherited by your grandfather, Hubert Moon, who returned to London and frittered it away on wine, women, and loose living. Stanley Moon:
...ermh... where does that leave me, then? George Spiggott:
Penniless, and on the brink of suicide! [giggles]
