CHAPTER NINETEEN Truelove wrote, reporting progress in his own sphere; transfers of property took time, and it was March before the lawyer could notify him that he no longer possessed any financial interest in the Rainier enterprises. The shares had been add for seventy shillings (fifteen more than the price at Christmas), and the purchaser had been none other than Chetwynd, who had apparently been glad to add to his own already large holding. Truelore added that bo regarded the price as satisfactory, though be still thought the sale unwise in view of a probably much higher price eventually. Charles wrote back that he was perfectly satisfied, and that if his “unwise** action had been the means of obliging Chet, so much the better. Just about then earns the Easter vacation; ho did not visit Stourton or see any of the family, but spent the three weeks tn an unplanned trip e'oond northern France, visiting Chartres. Llsieux, Caen, and Rouen. Returning to London the day before the Cambridge summer term began, he bought an evening paper at Victoria Station and glanced through what had come to be the almost usual news of famine and revolution somewhere or other on the Continent; not till late at night, in his hotel room, did he happen to notice a headline on the financial page—“ Rainier’s Still Soaring: Reported Terms of Bonus." He read that the shares had topped five pounds and that there waa talk of an issue of new stock to existing shareholders to the proportion of two for one. It wasn’t all very clear to him, for he never studied the financial columns and did not understand their jargon; but he realised that from the point of view of immediate profit, Truelove and Chet had been right, and ho himself wrong; which didn't trouble him at all. He was almost glad for his own sake, as well as Chet’s, for he would have had no use for the extra money, whereas Chet enjoyed both spending and the chance to say “I told you so, old chap.* In fact to felt so entirely unregretful about what had happened that he sent both Chet and Truelove short notes of congratulation. The next day ha went to Cambridge and completely loot track of financial news amidst the many more interesting pursuits of term time. He still did not make friends easily, but he joined the “Heretics” and »omethnea attended the weekly debating iseeisue over the fish .shop in Potty Cory; be alee came to know the occupant of the rooms n> xt to his on the aame staircase—a high-caste Hindoo aaasod Pal who was a mathematician asto perhaps aloe a gentoa. Pal claimed to fed thraTim tetegntoable aa human faces; Charles took him first as an oddity, then as a personality, later as a friend. He formed a habit of hantg cofiee in Pal's rooms eawa As summer eame, he did meet of his reading an the river, generally an the Upper Cam at GraMctoater, and aesnetisaaa be would portego the eanoe acrons the readway to the deep tranquil reach beyond the Old Mill.
