They never came to me when they wanted to lend him money at fifty per cent. Did they ever hear me say that he was my heir?" "Perhaps not." "Not one has ever heard it. It was not to them I lied, but to you and to Grey. D the creditors! What do I care for them, though they be all ruined?" "Not in the least." "Why do you talk to me about the creditors?
