Excerpt from The Golden Prime, Vol. 1 of 3

The boy served his time, and proved himself both thrifty and enterprising. His £500 gave him a start. In course of years he moved southward, and presently oh tained a partnership in a great London firm. Money poured in, and Rawdon had scarcely yet reached middle age when he bought the estate of Weybridge, the seat of an old family whose tale was very like his own. But the pleasures of the country did not tempt him from the shop. It is probable that the grocer might have died there, a bachelor, but the one romantic episode of a prosaic existence shortly befell. A pale and delicate old man replied to his advertisement for a foreign clerk, and he begged so eagerly for the place that Rawdon overlooked the weakness of his testimonials. For years the Frenchman did his work, growing feebler month by month.
