“Where have I come from? What business is that of yours? I can go where I like, can’t I? I’ve been shopping, if you want to know.”
“Where did you get the money?”
“Never mind! What money? Can’t I have a little money of my own? I’ve been giving you money lately.”
“I know you have. And I’m very sorry I let you. But that was money you got on your jewels, and I gave you some of them myself. You have been getting some more since I went away, and I want to know where you got it.”
“Suppose I borrowed it; what’s that to you?”
“Who lent it to you?”
“I shan’t tell you. You’ve no right to ask.”
“No, I know I have no right over you. But I have the right to say I won’t eat a dinner without knowing who is paying for it.”
“I shall pay for it; isn’t that enough?”
“With whose money? You have just admitted that you had been borrowing.”
