"No, I suppose not; but I've known men who would," said Braund.
"In America?" asked Eve, with a merry twinkle in her eyes.
"Yes; there's some pretty cute hands at a bargain in my country."
"But it would be dishonest," protested Eve.
"We don't call it that," said Braund.
"Then what do you call it?" she asked.
"It would be regarded as a cute bit of business. A man is supposed to look after his interests; if another man gets the better of him, it's all in the game. We admire the man who gets the better of another man," said Braund.
Eve laughed as she said:
"I am afraid that is not my way of looking at things."
"No, of course not; how could it be?" said Braund quickly.
