About this book
Living Too Fast, or The Confessions of a Bank Officer, is by Oliver Optic. Captain Halliard, an uncle, is a retired shipmaster who dabbled in stocks and was a director in the Japan Marine Insurance Company. A speaker tells Paley his chance is small, and says Tom Flynn has the inside track.
Tom has six hundred dollars a year, while the narrator has but five hundred. The venerable spinster, Aunt Rachel, had thirty thousand dollars according to the calculations of Captain Halliard, and it was currently reported, and currently believed, that the narrator was to be her heir. The narrator says he must either run away and leave Lilian to her fate, or pay this debt.
