If you have made a fortune, be content with what you have made, and clear yourself of the whole affair." "Not I." "Why not?" "Because I am going to make more. And I am going to marry Mrs. Vansittart. It is only a question of money. It always is with women. And not one in a hundred cares how the money is made."
Mrs. Vansittart held up a warning hand. "Do not talk to me of your financial basis. I know nothing of money. It is not from that point of view that I contemplate your Malgamite scheme." "Ah!

When they came within sight of the tall chimney of the pumping-station, it was she who led the way across the dunes.
