"And, Mr. Turner, what is pulp?
Westlake, "but I wouldn't be wise to let him have the chance, just the same." "But, father," objected Miss Hallie, after further thought, "it's his invention, you know, and his process, and if he doesn't have control couldn't all you other stock-holders get together and appropriate the profits yourselves?" Mr. Westlake gave his thumbs one quick turn. "Yes," he grudgingly confessed.
Westlake patted his daughter on the shoulder. "Hallie," said He, "if Billy only had your common-sense business instinct, I wouldn't ask for anything else in this world; but Billy is a saphead." Mr.
Luncheon is nearly ready, all but that, and they're waiting for you over at the glade. My, what a dear little place this is! How did you ever find it?"

Her head rolled forward as though she were nodding in her sleep, while a long drip of saliva trailed from her lower lip. Vandover's father bent over her quickly, crying out sharply, "Hallie! what is it?"
If it hadn't been for this newspaper fuss I shouldn't ever have said a word to you about it; but I advise you to straighten things up with Edward. You'd better do it for your own good for Hallie and the children. You've insulted him and held him up to the whole state of Indiana as a fool.
