"Upon my soul, I shouldn't wonder if they didn't!"
"Look here, Keith. Did you ever make Miss Harden any promise to pay her that money when your father died?"
"Of course I didn't—How could I? Do you suppose she'd have let me do anything of the sort?"
"I don't know what she wouldn't have let you do. Anyhow you didn't make her any promise. Think of the promises and promises you've made to me."
"I do think of them. Have I broken one of them?"
"I don't say you have yet; but you want to."
"I don't wa—I won't break them, I'll keep every one of the blessed lot, if you'll only give me time."
"Give you time? I know what that means. It means that I'm to go back and earn my living. I can slave till I drop for all you care—while you go and throw away all that money on another woman. And I'm to give you time to do it in!"
