Chapter XXXVII.
GREAT PROSPERITY.
Fortune is merry,
And in this mood will give us anything.
—Shakespeare.
Alden Lytton prospered wonderfully. Not once in a thousand instances can a young professional man get on as fast as he did.
Usually the young lawyer or doctor has to wait long before work comes to him, and then to work long before money comes.
It was not so with Alden Lytton.
As soon as he opened his office business came in at the door.
