"Don't be a fool! You don't imagine I'm going to swallow that, do you?"
"No."
"Then what on earth's the use of saying it?"
"I mean I haven't speculated on the processes of your mind," explained Neville. "Unprofitable occupation, quite without point."
"Look here, Neville, are you sticking to it that you've no objection to being snowed under by debts?" demanded Sally.
"Yes, why not?"
"It doesn't add up, that's why not. There's nothing more uncomfortable than not having any money, and being dunned by tradesmen. Receiving To Account Rendered by every post, with a veiled threat attached, and totting up the ghastly totals -'
"Oh, but I don't do anything like that!" Neville assured her. "I never open bills."
"Then you get County Courted."
"You soon get used to that. Besides, Ernie hated it, so he got into the way of paying my outstanding debts. Really, the whole thing worked out very well. Now I've got his money I shall never have a moment's peace. People will badger me."
