Otherwise you'd have called in your work, and saved yourself having to pay those commissions to Hatton and the others. As it is, I believe they've somehow done you out of your cheques, and the shock of it has affected your brain." "My dear Julian, it's a good suggestion, that about calling in my work. But it comes a little late. I called it in weeks ago." My irritation increased.
"Where have you been, Julian?" said Valentine. "Oh, with her with Molly, of course," he replied. "What? Till now?" Julian seemed uneasy under his scrutiny.
