"Who is it?"
"Collins, the shoe manufacturer."
"I am surprised at this. I thought he was rich."
"He has lost money by investments in stocks, and finds himself hard up."
"What does he offer?"
"Seven per cent, secured by a mortgage on his shop."
"Let him have it."
"Are you willing that your name should appear in the matter?"
"No; I shall transfer the sum to Mark, and make you his trustee or guardian."
"I understand. Is he to know of his good fortune?"
