Mary Dean was the name chosen by Kate. "So far so good," thought Jack.
The three of them lunched together in the Dutch room of their suite. Bobo as the meal progressed, became visibly nervous, and scarcely did justice to the timbales of chicken and asparagus tips.

"I want some more money," said Bobo.
"Huh!" said Miriam scornfully. "One would think it was his money you were asking for."
This put Bobo out a little; Jack hastened to give him the next cue. "But I've been sending you a thousand a week."
"What's a thousand a week!" said Miriam. "Our bill at the Rodney Farms was half of that."
"Why didn't you buy the place?" queried Jack sarcastically.
"Is that for you to say?" demanded Miriam.
"I've got to have more!" shouted Bobo—according to previous instructions.
"A thousand was all you said you wanted."
