pig-headedness of the directors and the general and disgusting
ingratitude of small customers, who would keep failing, and thus drew
attention to those accounts which were of regal magnitude. "You wait; do
not inquiet yourself more than you can avoid. I have one idea that we
should be able to do much good together. Once I make a great _coup_ that
is in mine head, then we shall see much. Amongst more if Bertrand
Kleinwort cannot put a fortune in the way of his friend."
"Thank you, Kleinwort," replied Mr. Forde gratefully. "I know I can
trust _you_."
Which showed an amount of faith difficult to conceive of any one
possessing in the sceptical nineteenth century.
But Mr. Forde had an enormous capacity for believing in things he
desired should come to pass.
And this was really a great pity.
