He goes and comes in as he likes quite the Little Stranger. They all know him in Throgmorton Street. No, no. There's more in this than meets the eye, sir. He's not like you and me. But it's no business of mine. He don't go down in my pocket-book, I can tell you. I keep out of his way and with reason. He never did no harm to me, nor shan't if I can help it. Quidnunc!

'I always thought a broker was a horrid man, who came and took your furniture away. 'Ah, that's another kind of broker. He comes afterwards. I promised Harrison that he should have any business which I could put in his way, so here goes. How is that? 'Harrison, 13a Throgmorton Street, E.C. Buy two hundred El Dorado Proprietaries.
