"And yet? So it's Harry Trevor now; as usual, everybody's guilty except the man who did it."
"Mr. Morgan, I'm willing to believe that you don't realize what a confused nightmare I seem all at once to be moving in, and that that explains your attitude. If you did realize how wholly you have taken me by surprise----"
"I do realize that; I quite think that you're altogether the most surprised man I've lately met. I don't know what you did expect when you rang that bell, but I don't suppose that you expected this."
"I did not; though you speak in one sense, and I in another. With reference to what you say about those bills, a horrible--I can only call it fear, has come into my mind, of which I scarcely dare to think, lest I should be guilty of heinous injustice; and before I speak of it----"
"You would like to have time to think it over?"
"I should."
"Then you shall have it; that's what I'm coming to. You will be at the office to-morrow morning at eleven o'clock."
"I will."
"You had better."
