“I guess so. As much that as anything.”

“You realize that you treated me shamefully. You realize that?”

“Yes,” wearily. “Yes, I realize everything.”

“And you felt sorry, after I had gone, and so you changed your mind. Was that it?”

“Yes.”

There was no use in attempting justification. For the absolute surrender I had made there was no justification. I might as well agree to everything.

“And you will never, never treat me in that way again?”

“No.”

“And you realize that I was right and understand that I am to do as I please with my money?”

“Yes.”
