"You're altogether too sensitive, Harold," replied Compton. "It is no reflection on
you whatsoever. The system under which we have been working is, with very few
exceptions, the very system that I evolved myself through years of experience in
this business. If there is any reflection upon any one it is upon me and not you.
You must learn to realize, if you do not already, what I realize--that no one is
infallible. Just because the system is mine or yours we must not think that no
better system can be devised. I am perfectly satisfied with what Mr. Torrance is
doing, and I agree with his suggestion that we employ a firm of accountants, but I
think no less of you or your ability on that account."
Bince saw that it was futile to argue the matter further.
"Very well, sir," he said. "I hope that I am mistaken and that no serious harm will
result. When do you expect to start these accountants in?"
"Immediately," replied Compton. "I shall get in touch with somebody today."
Bince shook his head dubiously as he returned to his own office.
