What He Could Afford and The Debt of Ambition
Glasgow banker Carrick, famed as a frugal founder of the Ship bank, faced a rare act of generosity when pressed for a subscription to a new Royal infirmary. He originally pledged 2 guineas but, pressed by makers and peers, signed for 50 guineas after a challenge to his proclaimed affordability. The tale links to a broader reflection on success eroding humane ties. Woodcocks carry their young by balancing nestlings between their thighs, a remarkable nesting habit confirmed by observed behavior.
