But
the
one
great
stumbling-block
lay
in
my
want
of
capital
.
As
you
will
readily
understand
,
a
specialist
who
aims
high
is
compelled
to
start
in
one
of
a
dozen
streets
in
the
Cavendish
Square
quarter
,
all
of
which
entail
enormous
rents
and
furnishing
expenses
.
Besides
this
preliminary
outlay
,
he
must
be
prepared
to
keep
himself
for
some
years
,
and
to
hire
a
presentable
carriage
and
horse
.
To
do
this
was
quite
beyond
my
power
,
and
I
could
only
hope
that
by
economy
I
might
in
ten
years
"
time
save
enough
to
enable
me
to
put
up
my
plate
.
Suddenly
,
however
,
an
unexpected
incident
opened
up
quite
a
new
prospect
to
me
.
"
This
was
a
visit
from
a
gentleman
of
the
name
of
Blessington
,
who
was
a
complete
stranger
to
me
.
He
came
up
into
my
room
one
morning
,
and
plunged
into
business
in
an
instant
.
"
'
You
are
the
same
Percy
Trevelyan
who
has
had
so
distinguished
a
career
and
won
a
great
prize
lately
?
"
said
he
.
"
I
bowed
.
"
'
Answer
me
frankly
,
"
he
continued
,
'
for
you
will
find
it
to
your
interest
to
do
so
.
You
have
all
the
cleverness
which
makes
a
successful
man
.
Have
you
the
tact
?
'
"
I
could
not
help
smiling
at
the
abruptness
of
the
question
.
"
'
I
trust
that
I
have
my
share
,
"
I
said
.
"
'
Any
bad
habits
?
Not
drawn
towards
drink
,
eh
?
'
"
'
Really
,
sir
!
"
I
cried
.
