"I never had a sister, but it must be rather a good thing to live up
to."
"Yes. And to live with. Especially other fellows' sisters."
"Are you ready to part with yours for that purpose?"
"No. That's asking too much. By the way, I think we are in the same
work. I'm in the office of Jarvis, Redburn and Saltus."
"I'm trying it by myself."
"You've been very lucky."
"Yes. I've succeeded much better than I hoped for. But I've had very few
clients."
"Fortunately it doesn't take many. Two or three rich steady clients will
keep a fellow running. I know a man who's only got one, but he runs him
for all he's worth, and gets a pretty good living out of him."
"My clients haven't been of that sort." Peter smiled a little at the
thought of making a steady living out of the Blacketts, Dooleys or
Milligans.
"It's all a matter of friends."
Peter had a different theory, but he did not say so. Just at that point
they were joined by Laurence Ogden, who was duly introduced, and in a
