"I rejoice for a hundred reasons that chance has led to our meeting this morning. Not to mention ninety-nine of them, I am anxious to discharge, with as little loss of time as may be, the very onerous debt I owe you." Susanna opened her eyes, in puzzlement. "A debt? I am your creditor unawares." "My debt of apologies and condolences," he explained. She knitted her brows, in mental effort.
