I went to an inflation calculator and picked some years through the 1800s:1820 - £ 421,4671850 - £ 587,0441880 - £ 524,592In USD that's $560-700k. Multiplying that by 60 shows how the maggot is scheming for an inheritance of ~£31,500,000 versus £31,000,000 if Laura gets her part. (per 1880 values, and also around $41,400k v $42,000k in dollars.)
