"Well, I want to see it, and I'm going to do it before you leave this house."
"Are you going to take the paper away from me!" cried Nat, in alarm.
"I only want to look at it. As soon as I've read it, I'll give it back to you."
"I can't allow the paper to go out of my possession, Mr. Cameron."
"Mrs. Parloe isn't entirely responsible for what she does. I must see to it that everything is all right."
"Well, you had better call on Mr. Garwell."
"No, I must see the document while you have it here. Come! hand it over."
"I will not."
Nat had scarcely spoken when Rufus Cameron caught him roughly by the shoulder.
