“Let him. You’re King of the Castle now. Keep him out. Don’t be such a cur.”

“He’s half mad. I know he is. I don’t want a scene. I should kill him if he came.”

“Yes, you look as if you would.”

“And I haven’t done much for you yet. We shall want to talk business.”

“What, on your wedding-day! Nonsense. I’ll go back to the hotel.”

“No, no. There is plenty of room in the place—for a friend. You must stop here for a few days.”
