"I know. But I didn't really mean it that way. We aren't through yet."
"You know where you can raise—more money?"
"I know where it is. I'm going to see Lee Gorman tomorrow."
"Lee Gorman! You aren't serious."
"There's no place else to go."
"You'll be wasting your time, Joshua. He'll—he'll humiliate you."
"He probably will. And I may not get the money. But there's no place else to go."
Tears came into Myra's eyes. "Don't do it, Joshua. Please don't do it."
"It won't be as bad as you think, dear. I guess Lee is entitled to crow a little."
