You
are
a
very
fortunate
man
Mr
Tempest
;
"
--
said
the
senior
partner
Mr
Bentham
,
as
he
folded
up
the
last
of
the
papers
we
had
been
looking
through
and
put
it
by
--
"
At
your
age
this
princely
inheritance
may
be
either
a
great
boon
to
you
or
a
great
curse
--
one
never
knows
.
The
possession
of
such
enormous
wealth
involves
great
responsibilities
.
"
I
was
amused
at
what
I
considered
the
impertinence
of
this
mere
servant
of
the
law
in
presuming
to
moralize
on
my
luck
.
"
Many
people
would
be
glad
to
accept
such
responsibilities
and
change
places
with
me
"
--
I
said
with
a
flippant
air
--
"
You
yourself
,
for
example
?
"
I
knew
this
remark
was
not
in
good
taste
,
but
I
made
it
wilfully
,
feeling
that
he
had
no
business
to
preach
to
me
as
it
were
on
the
responsibilities
of
wealth
.
He
took
no
offence
however
--
he
merely
gave
me
an
observant
side-glance
like
that
of
some
meditative
crow
.
"
No
Mr
Tempest
,
no
"
--
he
said
drily
--
"
I
do
not
think
I
should
at
all
be
disposed
to
change
places
with
you
.
I
feel
very
well
satisfied
as
I
am
.
My
brain
is
my
bank
,
and
brings
me
in
quite
sufficient
interest
to
live
upon
,
which
is
all
that
I
desire
.
To
be
comfortable
,
and
pay
one
's
way
honestly
is
enough
for
me
.
I
have
never
envied
the
wealthy
.
"
"
Mr
Bentham
is
a
philosopher
,
"
--
interposed
his
partner
,
Mr
Ellis
smiling
--
"
In
our
profession
Mr
Tempest
,
we
see
so
many
ups
and
downs
of
life
,
that
in
watching
the
variable
fortunes
of
our
clients
,
we
ourselves
learn
the
lesson
of
content
.
"
"
Ah
,
it
is
a
lesson
that
I
have
never
mastered
till
now
!
"
I
responded
merrily
--
"
But
at
the
present
moment
I
confess
myself
satisfied
.
"
They
each
gave
me
a
formal
little
bow
,
and
Mr
Bentham
shook
hands
.
"
Business
being
concluded
,
allow
me
to
congratulate
you
,
"
he
said
politely
--
"
Of
course
,
if
you
should
wish
at
any
time
to
entrust
your
legal
affairs
to
other
hands
,
my
partner
and
myself
are
perfectly
willing
to
withdraw
.
Your
deceased
relative
had
the
highest
confidence
in
us
...
.
