You must go away for his health." Harbert smiled as though he thought it a good joke. Bansemer turned red and then white. "I don't quite appreciate your wit, sir."

Excerpt: ...I hardly expected a social call from you, so it must be of a business nature. What is it?" "It concerns your son, Mr. Bansemer. I'm here in the capacity of a physician. You must go away for his health." Harbert smiled as though he thought it a good joke. Bansemer turned red and then white. "I don't quite appreciate your wit, sir." "My humour, I'd suggest as a substitute. Well, to be perfectly plain, sir, your son does not know the true nature of the malady.

What I do mean to say is this: he won't feel like staying here if the truth about his father is uttered. That's the brutal way to put it, Bansemer, but you've GOT TO GET OUT." The two glared at each other for a full minute. Bansemer was as white as a sheet-but not with fear. "Harbert," he said in low tones, "I've half a mind to kill you." "Don't. You'd hang for it. There are at least a dozen members of the bar who know that I have come here to see you, and they know why, too. See here, Bansemer, you're a scoundrel to begin with. You've always been a knave. How you happen to have a son like Graydon I can't imagine. If I did not know that your wife was a noble, honest woman, it wouldn't be difficult to supply a reason for-" "Stop! By God, you shall not say a word against my wife! I'll brain you with this weight! You-" "I have not said a word against her-nor against your son. For her and for him I have the deepest...
