Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Woman´s Affection ´Tis now about fifteen years since I am in the employ of Mr. Harley Dighby, and during this time I have seen many a ups and downs in every day business life. I have learned many secrets which can only be understood by a good business man, and, when used properly are bound to succeed. Ever since I knew Mr. Dighby, he seemed to be one of the most successful merchants in London. Never knew him to be extravagant; never knew him to be interested in speculation; never knew him to be short in his accounts; never knew of his having serious losses; - yet, at present, his financial affairs are in such a state that he cannot possibly straighten them without calling on some of his friends for assistance, and by so doing loosen his credit, or perhaps astonish half of London by suspending business. And then, what will be his future but a life of shame and misery, yes, if not a life of imprisonment, for which not even the lowest living man could have the slightest desire to taste of. How mean and miserable he must be, with such an outlook before himself, and too what a prospect there is for his daughter. Unhappy are the great, for they may fall, fall a depth from which they may never be able to rise again, and experience a full measure of misery, of which no poor man can possibly imagine. Strange how some of the most successful men will, and must come to ruin. It is a mystery to me how this - Enter Mr. Potter. Potter. Good morning Mr. Harland. Harl. Good Morning. Pott. Excuse my liberty, Mr. Harland, but I think I´ve heard you say something about mysteries. Can I in any way assist you to clear them up? Oh! you are surprised; a thousand times I beg your pardon, Mr. Harland; I did not mean to offend you - only I thought - I am very sorry I asked you Mr. Harland, you forgive me, won´t you? Harl. Don´t speak of it Mr. Potter, it is nothing what ever, you only surprised me a little by coming so quick, and really, I myself was not aware that I spoke loud enough to be heard by anybody. It was only a little scare, that is all. Pott. You won´t have any hard feelings towards me then? Harl. Not in the least, my friend. Here, let us have a shake on it. They shake hands. Pott. How glad I am. I was afraid I was to lose your friendship. Harl. Ha! ha! ha! Lose my friendship, aye? Why, I would not want to lose so noble a friend as you because of such trifles; no, indeed I would not. Pott. Are you not afraid that profuse compliment will turn my head? Harl. No, not so clever a fellow as you are. I think it takes about ten men of my type to turn your head, and it would be hard work then, I assure you.
