Rodney. No, I don’t care to do that. I want to make good myself.

Peale. Well, if father is forced to buy you out, isn’t that enough? What do you want?

Rodney. I’ve got to be a success on my own. I’ve got to show father, and—Miss Grayson.

Peale. (Comprehending) Oh! Making good with the dame, eh?

Rodney. You see, father says I can’t earn five dollars a week.

Peale. He isn’t right, is he?

Rodney. No, sir, you’ll see.

Peale. I hope so. Pretty tough if you couldn’t. Some job trying to sell soap if father’s against us.

Rodney. I suppose it is.
