The man had no smile in response, and his question came swiftly. "I've never dined with him." Bull sat back. His eyes were smiling. "Well, I guess the answer's easy. You're here fighting for the Skandinavia. And I'd say you've been doing it mighty well. Maybe Peterman'll feel sore, but he'll see it that way after awhile." Nancy thought long and earnestly over her breakfast.

"If I join you with some money and teams, will it lessen, or add to, the risk?" "It will lessen the risk." "Will it reduce, or increase, your working costs?" "I think the answer's obvious." "Then it looks as if you'd be foolish to turn my offer down." Festing got up and walked about irresolutely for a moment or two. Then he stopped with some color in his face.
Then she said, gravely: "The answer's very humiliating. I go because I haven't anything else to do." He did not reassure her. "Yes, that's bad," he said, after a second.
