"Amusing the old man, eh? You must have a damn lot of work to do if you can afford to waste your time that way."
"That, too, is my own affair, and not yours. Have you anything more to say?"
"Sure I have. I want to know what you are doing here."
"Why shouldn't I be here?"
"But you received orders to leave."
"Who gave them?"
"Dad, of course."
"What right had he to order me away?"
"Oh, he rules here."
"Well, he doesn't rule me, and I shall leave when I get ready, and not before."
