"He seems to be a good friend of the family, doesn't he?" remarked Andy, quietly.
"It isn't true, is it?"
"It is true that father hasn't money enough to pay the interest."
"What will happen, then?"
"You forget that he has a rich son," said Andy, with a smile.
"Can you help him out?"
"That is what I am here for."
"I am very glad to hear it," said Valentine, with an air of relief. "Even if I didn't like your family, I wouldn't like to see Conrad triumph over you."
"Come around this evening, Val. We shall have plenty to talk about."
"I will."
