"Well, don't send me too far. I have big interests on hand just now."
"Cessation of all business."
"Don't know how I can manage that."
"Get on a sailing vessel. Stay on it for three months."
"I should die for want of an interest in life."
"Take my advice in time, Mr. Stillwater. It will save future trouble."
"I wonder how Indiana would like a sailing trip," thought Stillwater. "If the folks were along I guess we'd manage to whoop it up, all right. Well, I'll think it over, Doctor. Of course, I couldn't do anything without consulting the ladies."
Stillwater smiled in a confidential way, as much as to say, "You know how it is yourself." The noted authority answered by a look of contemptuous pity.
"See you again, Doctor."
As he arrived at the hotel he was hailed by Indiana, driving up in a hansom.
