"What do you mean by my taking the consequences?"
"You'll find that out later."
"Would you kill me?"
"I would make you mind me—as a son should."
"I would rather do without the fortune than have you for a father, Dr. Mackey."
"Well, there is no love lost between us, when it comes to that, boy."
"Then you are willing to admit that you care more for the fortune than you do for me?"
"Why shouldn't I—after the way you have acted toward me? No father wishes a son who hates him."
"I will agree with you there," answered Jack slowly.
