“He won't get rich very fast in that business. What did he have to say for himself?”
“He wouldn't tell me how much money he was making. He pays four dollars a week for board.”
“He probably finds it hard to pay that. It isn't likely he lays up anything. He would do better to stay in Wrayburn.”
“Then you think he can't send any money to his mother?”
“No; he will find it hard to pay his own expenses.”
“Then she won't be able to pay the interest on the mortgage?”
“I don't see how she can.”
“And you will seize the house?”
“I fully intend to do so.”
“Good! That'll bring down Carter's pride. He's as cheeky as ever.”
