“Another—friend.”

“Yes.... Partly.”
“You’re not ill, are you, Barry?” inquired the elder man, curiously.
“No, I should say not!”
“Financial troubles?... You don’t mind my asking?”
“Oh, it isn’t anything of that sort, Mike.... It really isn’t anything.”
“You’re not—in love.... Are you?”
“Hang it all, no, I’m not!... No.... I’ve never been in love, Mike.”
