  When a seed-merchant of cautious disposition and an eye to the main chance receives from an
  eminent firm of jam-manufacturers an extremely large order for clover-seed, his emotions are
  mixed. Joy may be said to predominate, but with the joy comes also uncertainty. Are these
  people, he asks himself, proposing to set up as farmers of a large scale, or do they merely want
  the seed to give verisimilitude to their otherwise bald and unconvincing raspberry jam? On the
  solution of this problem depends the important matter of price, for, obviously, you can charge a
  fraudulent jam disseminator in a manner which an honest farmer would resent. This was the
  problem which was furrowing the brow of Mr. Julian Fineberg, of Bury St. Edwards, one sunny
  morning when Roland Bleke knocked at his door; and such was its difficulty that only at the
  nineteenth knock did Mr. Fineberg raise his head.
