IT had long been plain to me that I should live my life in London, that I could not hope to save enough money to buy, or start, a practice in a country town till I was too old to begin life afresh with any hope of success. Since therefore I was destined to life in London, I had always desired to live in Hertford Park, for it is the prettiest and greenest of the inner suburbs, and for me an outer suburb is too far from the office. But it seemed impossible that I should compass even that desire for years; I was saving money far too slowly to hope to rent, much less to buy, a house in Hertford Park for a very long while. Then came my flutter in Tegean Corporations.
