"Oh, yes; the lease," she remembered. "I'll introduce you and you can ask him about it."
"Don't mention it!" hastily objected Johnny. "You may introduce me, but you do the talking."

"You don't mean to say you've left Ersten?" returned Constance in surprise.
"I have retired from business," reiterated Heinrich.
