"And now it develops that if, within a certain time, he makes a sort of legal protest—files a paper in court or something like that—he has a chance to get his stock back?"
"Provided, of course, he gives back the money."
"And he is practically assured of his money if he does make that protest, Dad?"
"Yes. It's quite complicated, but, to state it simply, if he files that paper, protesting against losing his old stock, the new stock that he bought will be worth considerable, and out of the money he gets from selling that he can get back his old stock, which will be worth twice as much."
"It sounds like a Chinese puzzle, Dad, but the main thing to do is, I take it, to file this protest."
"Yes, if it's filed in time."
"That's what I wanted to know, Dad. I see my way clear now."
