There are three hyperboles in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note":
- "They'll flock in droves". Here the word flock used as a verb means to gather together as a flock (word used to refer to a group of animals, specially birds). Therefore, the phrase is an hyperbole because it contrasts the idea of "a group of animals in a rush" to refer to "these rich Londoners" so as to cause a sense of exaggeration.
- "I'm a made man forever". The use of the word "forever" here is used to add emphasis to the fact that the character will be a made man as long as he lives: everyone knows nothing lasts forever.
- "In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz!". Here the phrase "less than twenty-four hours" is employed to highlight how fast it took the rich Londoners to hear about the mine selling.

Explanation:
An infinitive is the basic form of a verb compound by the preposition "to" and the bare verb, for example, to eat, to run, to go or to cook. In the case of a split infinitive a word or groups of words is inserted between the preposition "to" and the bare infinitive which is usually an adverb, for example, "she was advised to slowly run" in which "to run" has been separated or split by the adverb "slowly". Thus, a split occurs if one or more words are inserted between the two parts of an infinitive.
