Nick could imagine spending a million pounds too. Buy a bigger house, buy Mum and Dad a house, get a box at the football. Quietly slip the food bank a couple grand every week. But a hundred million? How do you spend that? A bigger house, with gates and a long drive and security? A garage for your cars? A safety deposit box at the bottom of a deep mine for all your secrets? Being very rich seemed to drive people mad. Seemed to make them leave normality behind. As if the only possible reason for their vast amount of money was that they were born with powers above mortal beings.
