Would you really like to keep the business, Eugene?
gpt
I wouldn't keep it a day if Wilmarth could take the whole thing. But there are so many complications and so much money to pay out. I really do not see what is to be left for me,
human
If the other two make anything, your half-share ought to be worth something.
gpt
But you see it never _can_ pay the--the family.
human
It does not seem to me that father would have made just such a will if he had not believed it equitable or possible. I shall ask Connery to call a meeting to-morrow or as soon as possible. When does this note fall due?
gpt
I really do not know. I told you Wilmarth looked out for those things,
human
Have you any clear idea about the new patent? Is it really worth working? What are Mr. Wilmarth's views on the subject?
gpt
St. Vincent has to change something or other. He is very sanguine, and wants Wilmarth to wait a little. I don't believe he _has_ perfect faith in it.
human
I want you to read father's letter,
gpt
Not to-night, old fellow. To tell the truth, my head aches and I feel stupid. We'll look into things to-morrow. Only, Floyd, don't bring up a fellow with too sharp a turn.
human
Eugene, and there is a touch of deep feeling in his tone,
gpt
I want us to work together harmoniously. Remember that I have nothing to gain in all this. Whatever I do must be for your benefit and that of the family. I have my own plans and aims, but you will always find me brotherly.
human
Oh, well, don't pull such a solemn face about it. I dare say it will come out right. St. Vincent will get everything fixed up presently. Every business gets in a tight place now and then. Let us wind up our conclave with a friendly cigar.
