Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Forgery, or Best Intentions
Henry Scriven's first step was to discharge all his father's old servants, and to pay all legacies, though he did not sample to say that he thought his sisters had been some what too liberally provided for. He then sold the house in St. J ames's Square, as requiring a larger establishment than was necessary for a young man; and he retired to a lod g in Brook Street, comfortable enough, but greatly wit his means. He was much annoyed at the bequest of an eighth share of his father's business to Mr. Hayley; but he took advantage of all that gentleman's knowledge; and Hayley, soon by mild, almost timid manners, and active services, contrived to ingratiate himself as far as possible with a not very generous person.
