Hi,
The quote is from the story "The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat" by H. H. Munro.
Do I have to understand that a theatre ticket is less than a shilling and cheaper than coffee and sandwich?
Or after coffee and sandwich (if they find the necessary money anyhow) poor people has not a shilling for theatre to end the day properly.
Thank you
It was sad to think that there were young people who, after a long day's work, had to sit alone in chill, dreary bedrooms because they could not afford the price of a cup of coffee and a sandwich in a restaurant, still less a shilling for a theatre gallery.
