"Because I have no means of getting it."
"That isn't my lookout. It is yours. That money I must and will have."
Edgar had been told by Mark what to say, and he replied, "Then, I think, Mr. Schuyler, you will have to sue me."
"Nonsense! I shall adopt quite a different course."
"What is that?"
"I will lay the matter before your father."
Edgar winced, but he was prepared with a reply.
"I don't think it will do you any good. Father won't pay such a bill as that."
"At any rate it will get you into trouble with him."
