Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Spinks and His Hounds: A Hunting Story About the beginning of the reign of our gracious sovereign, Queen Victoria, there lived in Cheapside a hairdresser, named Spinks. His shop was chiefly frequented by men of business, many of whom were members of the Stock Exchange. Of these he took a double advantage, picking their brains at the same time as he clipped their hair, something in the same way as the silversmith scrapes two shillings´ worth of silver off his lordship´s forks, and charges him eighteenpence for doing it. The intelligence thus acutely acquired enabled him to invest the substantial profits accruing from the sale of his inimitable hair-wash to the best advantage; and such was his good fortune in the choice of investments that by the time any ordinary hairdresser would have been merely in comfortable circumstances, Spinks was very well advanced into his second hundred thousand. Notwithstanding this unprecedented success, he was loth to retire from business. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
