Help you--how?

You know more people than I--you know people everywhere, Anthony! You'll have to help me by calling them up and having them call up their friends, you know. That--that may do some good. I--I don't know! I don't know what I'm talking about, Anthony! I feel as if I'd gone crazy!

You don't know Mary--no, of course not! young Mr. Vining rushed on.

She--she's the girl I'm going to marry, Anthony! Yes, I'm engaged, although it hasn't been announced yet. I've been engaged for a week now, and we--great Heaven! I can't think. I--why, Anthony, I was talking to her even at dinner last night and there was never a hint that she even meant to go out of the house.

Eh? What Dalton?

What? Theodore Dalton, of course. He's her father--Dalton, the patent-medicine man, Anthony. You must have met him? You know Theodore Dalton?
