"Every time I peel a banana I peel an eye for Henry. I worry whenever you go out alone." The younger man rose and nervously paced the floor. "I'm completely mystified," he admitted. "The whole affair has been a great disappointment to me. I thought I'd sprung a coup, but I'm at a standstill. I'm stumped checkmated." "About that trouble between you an' him, eh?
