"Yes, the Vossian Gazette," continued Bertram, "has an article in which it speaks mysteriously and sympathizingly of the impending failure of one of our most eminent houses. This is said to aim at you, father." "And the other paper, Spener's Journal?" "Is sorry to join in the statement, and confirms it to-day."
