"But what will you do when the patent's granted?" "We can talk about that later. It will be some time before the mine is yours, and I'm not certain that we have heard the last of Stormont." "Very well," said Agatha. "I like Mr. Scott and feel I can trust him because he is your friend. Do what you think best; I leave it all to you."
You said a moment ago a man had to have money to make anything out of his inventions." "Did I?" Sam interjected, surprised. "Certainly you did; and dead right you are. A patent's all very well, but supposing you're up against a powerful competitor like the Consolidated Petroleum Company. They've got a patent, too.
