At the least, under the plan I am opposing, there will be an avowed partnership between the government and the trusts. I take it that the firm will be ostensibly controlled by the senior member. For I take it that the government of the United States is at least the senior member, though the younger member has all along been running the business.
You acted as though your brother's suit had your approval. And I think you alone did so." "You exaggerate. I know what you refer to. Reuben betrayed my lack of firmness, as he betrays every one who trusts in him." "Let us call it lack of firmness. The fact is the same, and I feel very strongly that it laid an obligation on you. From that day you should have been truly a sister to Cecily.
And then my going away right after " David strode over to the piano and sat there silent, his head sunk on his chest, his short arms stiffly before him. "I realize how absurd it is," she murmured; "but it isn't just those few months. He trusts me. It's the feeling he has that this is only a beginning.
