That, he said, is our method.
"That complicates things considerably," he mused as we walked slowly down to the subway station. "Jack Delarue I wonder if he is mixed up in this thing also." "I've heard that 'The Grass Widower' isn't such a howling success as a money-maker," I volunteered. "Delarue has a host of creditors, no doubt.
"Well, we'd have to make a stab at guessing that," he observed. "Any one thing of half a dozen might be the truth.

"Not properly, sir," said Ham, in a low voice. "Not as your mother had been used to living. Don't forget that. The Doctor was as fine a man as ever stepped; but he wasn't a money-maker.
"You see it's like this. If you'll just keep still a minute I can show you, though I ain't no lawyer; I'm a man of affairs, a commercialist, as you would say. A producer maybe is a better term.
