She had not supposed that Chris was listening without protest to this conversation. "No," she heard him say, briefly and definitely, "that's impossible!" "It isn't the money " Annie began. But Leslie interrupted with a bitter little laugh. "It may not be with you, Aunt Annie, but I assure you I wouldn't mind a few extra thousands," she said.
