"I was sorry for him," said Bonbright, simply.
"Sorry?… What's the idea?"
"I—I don't believe he did what people believe. He didn't really have anything to do with the business, you know. He didn't count…. All the things that he was said to do—he didn't do at all. His father did them and let the men think it was his son."
"Sounds fishy—but if it's so somebody ought to lambaste the old man. He sure got his son in bad…. What's this I hear about him marryin' some girl and gettin' kicked out?"
"That's true," said Bonbright.
"Huh!… Wonder what he'll do without his pa. Them kind hain't much good, I notice…. Maybe he's well fixed himself, though."
"He hasn't a cent," said Bonbright.
"Appears like you know a heap about him…. Maybe you know what he's doin' now?"
"Working."
"Friends give him a soft job?"
