"No," said Guy resolutely, "I will not take a penny."
"Why not?"
"Because it was left to you. I do not want to rob you."
"It's not a question of robbery," said Eustace, coolly, "if the money was of any use to me, I'd keep it. But it is not. I do not even know that I would touch it, so it's far better to be employed by you than lying idle in my bank. What do you say, Alizon?"
She flushed painfully.
"What can I say?"
"That you will persuade this obstinate husband of yours to take the money."
"But suppose he won't accept?"
"Which is his firm intention," said Guy, quickly.
"In that case," remarked Eustace grimly, "I shall simply hand it over to the most convenient charity, say 'The Society for the Suppression of Critics,' or 'The Fund for Converted Publishers'--but keep it, I will not."
