There he prospered, in five years nearly doubled his investment. And there he picked up the first of his own hangers-on, one Pauli, a somewhat shady gentleman whom Butler supported thenceforth till Pauli's death. Back in England again, Butler settled down in London to read at the British Museum, write, wait for the comfortable inheritance which would come to him when his father died.
