In the discussion about Harris’s "humble feeding house," Henry mentions, "I played a pivotal role in Harris's rise. It became widely known that the foreign eccentric, who carried million-pound notes in his waistcoat, was the establishment's main benefactor." As news spreads that Henry, already famous for possessing a million-pound bill, dines at Harris’s restaurant, its fame surges dramatically.
