Enough to catapult them back into the annals of royalty. Polly votes against the idea straight away but he continues, mentioning the canal boats and keeping Opium for a week in exchange for a decent amount of money. Gathering the family, Tommy tells them about the opium deal. He offers a bag of opium – the purest in Europe – as Tommy relays to him the intricate details around the shipment, including the amount of money it’s all worth.
