2/6 = 2 shillings sixpence or about 68 US cents, equivalent to $15.96 today. 5/- = 5 shillings (no pence) or about $1.35 in the US in 1900, which would be equivalent to $32.40 today. So, back then Bob would be able to buy anything that would be worth $225 in the U.S.
The answer is Austrian domination. Disappointed with life under the Austrian mastery of Bohemia, he acknowledged an arrangement at Göteborg, Sweden, as conductor of the Philharmonic Society and held the post from 1856 to 1861. In 1863 Smetana settled forever in Prague; he opened another music school and progressed toward becoming conductor of the choral society Hlahol. In 1866 he was selected conductor of the recently settled Czech musical drama house in Prague, yet he surrendered in 1874 in light of sudden deafness.
A few days ago I was preforming in a practice right before a play. My friends were around me and my crush was near me. Once we finished our rolls we all climbed down the stairs from a stage. People were pushing us trying to get down and see their family, and I was tripping and jumped to save myself. I still could not catch my balance and hit my nose on the wall. Everyone giggled and the director ran back stage and screamed "What was THAT?!" I was very embarrassed and ended up having a headache. I think the reason this happened is I did not want to sc rew up in front of my family and ended up embarrassing myself further thinking about it. Now my nose is swollen and very unflattering. I had the rest of the night to think about this and my friends came and comforted me.
