chained_bear commented on the word brummagem farthing
"Money, though obviously essential on occasion, usually had a bad effect on intelligence—for his part he had never touched a Brummagem farthing for his services—and money in such exorbitant, unnatural amounts might be very bad indeed, endangering all those who came into contact with it."
--Patrick O'Brian, The Reverse of the Medal, 22
