Became his partner.
June.—Very busy with legal proceedings against the
less important customers of the firm. Constant com-
munication kept up between our Solicitors and the
official representatives of the Sheriffs of London and
Middlesex.
July.—Enjoyed a tour on the Continent. Travelled
strictly incognito under the nomme.de voyage of " Le
Baron de Smith, Grand Milor' Anglais."
August. — Back to business. Recommenced legal
proceedings, and called in all the debts of the firm,
iiuined the establishment, and divided the profits.
Father-in-law retired to Clapham.
September.—Started business on my own account in
the premises lately occupied by my father-in-law and
myself. Invented the Royal Khiva Overcoat. Got the
garment made by the machine girls for next to nothing,
and advertised it largely. Spent a great part of the
month in shooting over my new preserves in Sussex.
October.—Explained to the important customers of
the late firm that my then partner (my father-in-law)
was responsible for commencing legal proceedings against
any gentleman of higher rank than a baronet. Upon
this, important customers returned to my books by the
score, and unimportant customers (following the lead
of their betters) by the thousand.
November.— Commenced to accommodate my cus-
tomers. Lent money at eighty-five per cent, to those
of them who could give me proper security. Found
this venture even a better thing than the sale of " the
Royal Khiva Overcoat, as advertised."
December.—Financial business flourishing famously.
Half-a-dozen decoys bringing me customers (each with
