upon his death / succeeded TO q
half-share in the well-known firm oi
dOrsay & Sons, my co-pArtner being
nv uncle and godfather, Frederick
Charles. He was and is much re.
spected in Chapel Court. Above
pedding or meanness OF any kind,
his name has ever been associated
with enterprises Of magnitude, car
ried, as O rule, to success.
l am considered clerer. I know a
good deal about Byzantine and Goth
ic church architecture, have q
pleasant tenor voice, and can detect
a false note-indeed, play myself.
French and German I almost half
understand, and in conservatory
can run off the reel a string OF the
high-sounding names that do so
much honor to our botanists' inven-
ton. But, I suspect, I have for
some time suspected, that stock
broking is not my forte. In truth,
I once overheard Uncle Fred say of
one transactions that I had COM
pleted, that it was the work of a
born idiot. But as he was very
particularly polite to me when, i'm:
mediately afterward, he espied me
in the corner, I conceived that pos
sibly he alluded to the other man
as, fortunately, there must be two
to every bargain.
At the end Of twelve months my
city career suffered e. total eclipse.
For the first half of that period I
had no occupation but to walk in
and out of the Office, and to listen
to what was going ON. But fine
spirit, imbued with sense of intel
lectual superiority, rebelled against
treatment of the kind. I demanded
of my partner that he should give
me something to do.
Uncle Fred looked uncommonly
solemn for a second or 80; then bis
face frightened.
"There is that young Mr.. Martin.
dale, Algernon. He is an old
schoolfellow of yours, and has been
here this last week or so. wanting to
make some investments. Suppose
you were to attend to him "
I gladly undertook the task.
Charley Martindale was an especial
fayorite of mine. The admiration
was all on my side; for he was not
only a very handsome young fellow,
and great favorite with both sexes,
but also the nephew of a peer, and
therefore of social rank a little
higher than my own. However,
we become great allies. Charley
had q modest fortune five thousand
pounds. This was to be the nucleus
of a greater; to be centupled by ju-
dicious speculation.
