Panopt. Compensation Claim III Contract

the list of the successes were, still more so was that of untendered
failures. The work-shops the workmen — the works, every
thing was exposed at all times open to my view. But every
now and then when I by way of comparat conversation
I was putting questions to my Brother about progress, and
success and expenditure and so forth the answer would
be — what signifies you plaguing yourself and me? By
interference of this sort it may be possible for you to do
mischief — it is not possible for you to do good.
Though conversations to this effect did happen more
than once, I can not say that they were by an means
frequent. For no sooner did I understand was I fully satisfied that explanations propositions
of the sort were alien to my Brother, than I
determined — and that without difficulty upon presumption to put an end desist from them
to them. In an ordinary concern connection such as that

to become so, an account of this cost what purpose could
it serve? To prevent my Brother's cheating me? it would not
have been in his power to cheat me had it been his wish: for
the same reason that it is not in the any mans power to rob you
of any thing which it is your known wish that he should take.
