"Right, it was the What Cheer; went there at two in the morning, and had a chop and coffee after a hard six-hours grind over those Extension papers,
and I tried to persuade you to come to London with me, and offered to get leave of absence for you and pay all your expenses,
and give you something over if I succeeded in making the sale; and you would not listen to me, said I wouldn't succeed, and you couldn't afford to lose the run of business and be no end of time getting the hang of things again
when you got back home. And yet here you are. How odd it all is! How did you happen to come, and whatever did give you thisincredible start?"
