“Scott Wilmer, you must let me help you.”
“How can you, Paul?”
“I can, I will, if only you will trust me. Do not question me, but let me do as I will. Let me come or go, and give me time and I will help you.”
“Why, how excited you are! Do you really think you can help me?”
“I am sure I can.”
“Very well, Paul, do as you think best, only do not let me lose track of you.”
“I will come to you again—trust me.”
“I will, Paul, I will, and do not fail to draw on me for any amount you may need.”
After a long conversation and a great deal of speculating Scott and Paul came to a decision.
