"No."
"You said your business was imbortant."
"So it is—to myself."
Meyer looked sharply at him. "Why do you want to photokraph my place?"
"For insertion in a magazine."
"Which makkazine?"
"Any that will take the article—I am not proud. It is important that I should make some money. I have seen many interesting reproductions of interiors of the stately homes of England in the periodicals, but never one of your house. Hence my appearance. I hope I may have your permission."
"Why should I krant you bermission?" said Meyer. "I live here in solitude. I do not bring visitors. I do not want dem. Your intrusion is imbertinent."
