It
had
not
occurred
to
me
before
,
that
he
had
led
up
to
the
theme
for
the
purpose
of
clearing
it
out
of
our
way
;
but
we
were
so
much
the
lighter
and
easier
for
having
broached
it
,
that
I
now
perceived
this
to
be
the
case
.
We
were
very
gay
and
sociable
,
and
I
asked
him
,
in
the
course
of
conversation
,
what
he
was
?
He
replied
,
"
A
capitalist
—
an
Insurer
of
Ships
.
"
I
suppose
he
saw
me
glancing
about
the
room
in
search
of
some
tokens
of
Shipping
,
or
capital
,
for
he
added
,
"
In
the
City
.
"
I
had
grand
ideas
of
the
wealth
and
importance
of
Insurers
of
Ships
in
the
City
,
and
I
began
to
think
with
awe
of
having
laid
a
young
Insurer
on
his
back
,
blackened
his
enterprising
eye
,
and
cut
his
responsible
head
open
.
But
again
there
came
upon
me
,
for
my
relief
,
that
odd
impression
that
Herbert
Pocket
would
never
be
very
successful
or
rich
.
"
I
shall
not
rest
satisfied
with
merely
employing
my
capital
in
insuring
ships
.
I
shall
buy
up
some
good
Life
Assurance
shares
,
and
cut
into
the
Direction
.
I
shall
also
do
a
little
in
the
mining
way
.
None
of
these
things
will
interfere
with
my
chartering
a
few
thousand
tons
on
my
own
account
.
I
think
I
shall
trade
,
"
said
he
,
leaning
back
in
his
chair
,
"
to
the
East
Indies
,
for
silks
,
shawls
,
spices
,
dyes
,
drugs
,
and
precious
woods
.
It
’
s
an
interesting
trade
.
"
"
And
the
profits
are
large
?
"
said
I
.
"
Tremendous
!
"
said
he
.
I
wavered
again
,
and
began
to
think
here
were
greater
expectations
than
my
own
.
"
I
think
I
shall
trade
,
also
,
"
said
he
,
putting
his
thumbs
in
his
waist
–
coat
pockets
,
"
to
the
West
Indies
,
for
sugar
,
tobacco
,
and
rum
.
Also
to
Ceylon
,
specially
for
elephants
’
tusks
.
"
"
You
will
want
a
good
many
ships
,
"
said
I
.
"
A
perfect
fleet
,
"
said
he
.
Quite
overpowered
by
the
magnificence
of
these
transactions
,
I
asked
him
where
the
ships
he
insured
mostly
traded
to
at
present
?
