Chapter IV
I never was more grateful for the solitude of the Exchange, where I had, before this, noted and blessed an absence of lunch customers as prevailing as the trade winds; the people I saw there came to talk, not to purchase. Well, I was certainly henceforth coming for both! I eagerly plunged in with the obvious question:-- “Indefinitely?” “Oh, no! Only Wednesday week.”
