Y the by, Vincent," Mrs. Wingfield remarked next morning at breakfast, "I have parted with Pearson." *'I am glad to hear it, mother. What! did you discover at last that he was a scamp*}" "Several things that occurred shook my confidence in him, Vincent. The accounts were not at all satisfactory, and it happened quite accidentally that when I was talking one day with Mr. Robertson, who, as you know, is a great speculator in tobacco, I said that I should grow no more tobacco, as it really fetched... nothing. He replied that it would be a pity to give it up, for so little was now cultivated that the price was rising, and the Orangery tobacco always fetched top prices; 'I think the price I paid for your crop this year must at any rate have paid for the labour — that is to say, paid for the keep of the slaves and something over.' He then mentioned the price he had given, which was certainly a good deal higher than I had imagined. I looked to my accounts next morning, and found that Pearson had only credited me with one-third of the amount he must have received, so I at once dismissed him.
