Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
156
Mr.
Slippery
was
undoubtedly
a
great
merchant.
He
lived
in
a
spacious
house
in
Broadway,
rode
in
a
splendid
coach,
walked
like
a
man
of
consequence
in
Wall-street,
was
a
bank
director,
and
had
the
handsomest
carpeted
compting
room
in
the
city,
and
I
know
not
how
many
clerks
writing
in
the
next
room.
I
knew
him
by
sight,
and
did
not
altogether
like
to
apply
to
him,
because
of
his
haughty
manners.
I
remembered
that
when,
some
years
before,
I
called
at
his
compting
room
to
offer
myself
as
a
master
for
one
of
his
ships,
he
kept
me
standing
half
an
hour,
with
my
hat
in
my
hand,
before
he
condescended
to
notice
me,
and
was
no
ways
pleased
that
I
took
the
liberty
to
draw
a
chair
to
seat
myself
until
he
might
be
at
leisure.
But
he
was
certainly
a
great
merchant,
and
to
him
I
went.
I
was
delighted
on
entering
his
room,
to
observe
a
visible
improvement
in
his
deportment
and
manners.
Instead
of
the
distant,
haughty
reserve
I
had
expected,
he
met
me
halfway,
with
both
hands
extended,
and
gave
me
a
hearty
welcome
to
my
country
after
so
long
an
absence;
inquired
after
my
wife
and
children
in
the
most
touching
manner;
was
rejoiced
to
hear
that
I
had
made
a
great
voyage,
and
should
be
extremely
happy
to
render
me
any
service
in
his
power.
He
finished
his
preliminary
address
with,
"I
am
a
great
admirer,
Captain
Seaborn,
of
you
men
of
enterprise,
who
draw
riches
from
the
great
deep
to
the
benefit
of
the
revenue,
the
extension
of
trade,
and
all
that
sort
of
thing:
you
understand
me,
Sir?"
