“No.”
“Nor with his ways of thinking?”
“No.—But, Ethelwyn, you know what I mean quite well. His family, you know.”
“Well, is his father not a respectable man?”
“Oh, yes, certainly. Thoroughly respectable.”
“He wouldn’t borrow money of his tailor instead of paying for his clothes, would he?”
“Certainly not”
“And if he were to die to-day he would carry no debts to heaven with him?”
“I believe not.”
