The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Market-Place by Harold Frederic: and another a fortnight after, on the 29th, and another on
September 12th. Well, those three days, if they're worked
as I intend they shall be, and nothing unforeseen happens,
will bring in over four hundred thousand pounds,
and close the 'corner' in Rubber Consols for good.
Then I need never see the City again, thank God! And for
that matter--why, what is six weeks? It's like tomorrow.
I'm going to act as if I were free already. The rain fills
me full of the country. Will you both come with me tomorrow
or next day, and see the Pellesley place in Hertfordshire?
By the photographs it's the best thing in the market.
