The narrator recalls his childhood, now of his early time in Salem House, the boarding school near London.
He was called before his senior J. Steerforth, entrusted all his money, seven shillings to him.
"Well!" said Steerforth. "We must make it stretch as far as we can, that's all. I'll do the best in my power for you. I can go out when I like, and I'll smuggle the prog in," With these words he put the money in his pocket, and kindly told me not to make myself uneasy; he would take care it should be all right.
[David Copperfield by Charles Dickens]
I'd like to know what "make it stretch" means.
And I'd like to know if "that" is implied before "it" which means "in order that."
Thank you in advance for your help.
