Jessy was very composed now, but she noticed that her brother looked at her in a rather unusual manner once or twice during the meal that followed.
Anyhow, so long as he's a director, Horsfield must hold a stipulated amount of stock. He's actually holding a good deal." "The limit's rather a low one. Suppose he sold out down to it; he wouldn't mind having the value of the rest knocked down, if he could make more than the difference by some jobbery.
