Matheson and Co., at the instance of the chemist previously mentioned, sent out Strawsoniser spray engines for the purpose of treating afflicted trees with various solutions, but, though good effects were noticeable on individual trees, it was found that to treat whole estates in this way was quite impracticable, both from the cost and the immense amount of labour that would be required, and this fatal obstacle to the use of such remedies has been amply proved in Ceylon.
A stone bridge with an iron gate gives access into one of the best parts of Canton, commercially speaking; but all the business connected with tea, silk, and other productions, which is carried on by such renowned firms as Jardine, Matheson & Co., the Dents, the Deacons, and others, is transacted in these handsome dwellings of stone or brick, each standing in its tropical garden, with a wall or ornamental railing or bamboo hedge surrounding it, but without any outward sign of commerce at all.
About a mile from the eastern end of the village was the small modernised manor-house of Bridge End, which belonged to Mark Winnington, and where his sister Alice, Mrs. Matheson, kept him company for the greater part of the year.
"Hold the line, please. I'll make enquiries." Presently the answer came. "Why do you wish to know?" "Mr Matheson is my half-brother, and though I'm in close touch with him, I've had no intimation of any such move on his part." "Hold the line, please." Another pause ensued, followed by the formal statement. "The news came to us last night from our Paris office. We believe it to be correct.
"You're wondering why I've called on you," he began. "You're thinking that a stranger and a busy man at that wouldn't have travelled to Wiesbaden merely to inquire after you. You're thinking that I want something." "What is it you want from me?" asked Elaine with frank directness. "I want your help," returned Larssen with an assumption of equal frankness. "My help! For what?" "For Matheson."
Heading the prospectus were these names on the Board of Directors: Clifford Matheson, Esq. The Right Hon. Lord St Aubyn, P.C., K.C.V.O. Sir Francis Letchmere, Bart. Gervase Lowndes Hawley Carleton-Wingate, Esq., M.P. Lars Larssen, Esq. To join the Board after allotment. The capital was divided into 5,000,000 Ordinary £1 Shares, and 4,000,000 Deferred Shares of 1s.
Gilsey had let fall about Keith, Mr. Halbrook sent next day for Keith. He wanted him to do a small piece of surveying for him. With him was the stout Scotchman, Matheson. The papers and plats were on a table in his room, and Keith was looking at them. "How long would it take you to do it?" asked Mr. Halbrook. He was a short, alert-looking man, with black eyes and a decisive manner.

A string of rapid, apparently unconnected orders almost bewildered the young secretary: "First, get a list of the big hotels at Monte Carlo.
"I don't suppose you need to ask. I saw you there. It didn't go at all." "Yes," replied Daggett, "your men are all right in their opinions, but they never allow their opinions to interfere with business. I could have told you every last man of them was scared. There's Matheson, couldn't stand up against his wholesale grocer. Religion mustn't interfere with sales.
