"I think you have no right to leave him your greed. 'Tis a mortal poor inheritance for any lad." "Your vocabulary is rather blunt." Burgeman smiled faintly. "But it is very refreshing. It is a long time since naked truth and I met face to face." "But will it do you any good or is it too late?" Patsy eyed him contemplatively. "Too late for what?"
"Last summer Billy Burgeman used to read to me the parts of Marjorie's letters that told about you, and they were great! We were making up our minds to go to Ireland and see if you were real when your company came to America. After that Marjorie would never introduce us after the plays, just to be contrary.

I've got to get away and stay away until I've squared the thing and paid father back." "Billy Burgeman, did you forge that check yourself?"
