'Not at all. I have more money than I know how to spend.'
'You are good all round. You pulled Pip Beamish out of the water, and I know you do not love him.'
'You see I help one I love, and one I do not love.'
Zita coloured. 'I did not mean that.'
'Then I do,'said Mark roguishly. 'You are in the right in this, that I do not love Beamish,—for one thing, because I think him a perverse, meddlesome, mischievous, discontented donkey, and for another, because of Kainie.'
'Kainie again?' exclaimed Zita, drawing back.
'Yes, because I do not choose to have him running after her.'
'Why should he not run after her as well as you?'
'Because he can never make her happy.'
