Victor: I like your new pants! Henry: Thanks, they were 50% off! Victor: I’d like them better if they were 100% off. *winks* Henry: The store can’t just give away clothes for free. Victor: That's… not what I meant. Henry: That’s a terrible way to run a business, Victor.

On page 222 of Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, Lydia Bennett declares that Wickham "never cared three straws about [Mary King]." The more commonly used phrasing in 2025 is "didn't give two shits." Given that this novel was published in 1813, please calculate the conversion of straws to shits, adjusted for inflation.
