Naturally, sir, for I give higher interest.
The Chamberlain.
Yes, but you charge higher interest on loans.[loans.]
Monsen.
But I don’t make so many difficulties about security and so forth.
The Chamberlain.
That is just the mischief of it; for now we have people making bargains to the tune of ten or twenty thousand dollars,[[18]] though neither of the parties has so much as a brass farthing. That is what sets me against you, Mr. Monsen. And there is another thing too that touches me still more nearly. Do you think it was with my good will that my son flung himself into all these wild speculations?
Monsen.
But how can I help that?
The Chamberlain.
