Excerpt from Confidence, Vol. 2 of 3

On the contrary, sir, replied Wildner, smiling, Mr. Etheridge is still alive, and in good health, or was so a few weeks ago. Mr. Etheridge was under considerable obligations to my father, who had raised him from the situa tion of managing clerk fto be a partner, when his own health obliged him to be much away from his business. Etheridge, consequently, had no capital, and, on condition that I should be received into the firm as a partner on coming of age, my father left all his money in the firm, and, accordingly, at one-and-twenty, I became partner with Mr. Etheridge, with a full share in the profits. But shortly after this event had taken place, I unfortunately for myself married; it was, I must acknowledge, a hasty and incon siderate marriage, and I paid dearly for my want of forethought.
