You
mean
Aileen
?
"
said
Cowperwood
,
looking
at
him
with
steady
,
curious
,
unrevealing
eyes
,
and
merely
interpolating
this
to
obtain
a
moment
for
reflection
.
"
What
can
I
tell
you
about
her
?
"
"
Ye
can
tell
me
where
she
is
,
that
I
know
.
And
ye
can
make
her
come
back
to
her
home
,
where
she
belongs
.
It
was
bad
fortune
that
ever
brought
ye
across
my
doorstep
;
but
I
'll
not
bandy
words
with
ye
here
.
Ye
'll
tell
me
where
my
daughter
is
,
and
ye
'll
leave
her
alone
from
now
,
or
I
'll
--
"
The
old
man
's
fists
closed
like
a
vise
,
and
his
chest
heaved
with
suppressed
rage
.
"
Ye
'll
not
be
drivin
'
me
too
far
,
man
,
if
ye
're
wise
,
"
he
added
,
after
a
time
,
recovering
his
equanimity
in
part
.
"
I
want
no
truck
with
ye
.
I
want
my
daughter
.
"
"
Listen
,
Mr.
Butler
,
"
said
Cowperwood
,
quite
calmly
,
relishing
the
situation
for
the
sheer
sense
of
superiority
it
gave
him
.
"
I
want
to
be
perfectly
frank
with
you
,
if
you
will
let
me
.
I
may
know
where
your
daughter
is
,
and
I
may
not
.
I
may
wish
to
tell
you
,
and
I
may
not
.
She
may
not
wish
me
to
.
But
unless
you
wish
to
talk
with
me
in
a
civil
way
there
is
no
need
of
our
going
on
any
further
.
You
are
privileged
to
do
what
you
like
.
Wo
n't
you
come
up-stairs
to
my
room
?
We
can
talk
more
comfortably
there
.
"
Butler
looked
at
his
former
protege
in
utter
astonishment
.
He
had
never
before
in
all
his
experience
come
up
against
a
more
ruthless
type
--
suave
,
bland
,
forceful
,
unterrified
.
This
man
had
certainly
come
to
him
as
a
sheep
,
and
had
turned
out
to
be
a
ravening
wolf
.
His
incarceration
had
not
put
him
in
the
least
awe
.
"
I
'll
not
come
up
to
your
room
,
"
Butler
said
,
"
and
ye
'll
not
get
out
of
Philadelphy
with
her
if
that
's
what
ye
're
plannin
'
.
I
can
see
to
that
.
Ye
think
ye
have
the
upper
hand
of
me
,
I
see
,
and
ye
're
anxious
to
make
something
of
it
.
Well
,
ye
're
not
.
It
was
n't
enough
that
ye
come
to
me
as
a
beggar
,
cravin
'
the
help
of
me
,
and
that
I
took
ye
in
and
helped
ye
all
I
could
--
ye
had
to
steal
my
daughter
from
me
in
the
bargain
.
If
it
was
n't
for
the
girl
's
mother
and
her
sister
and
her
brothers
--
dacenter
men
than
ever
ye
'll
know
how
to
be
--
I
'd
brain
ye
where
ye
stand
.
Takin
'
a
young
,
innocent
girl
and
makin
'
an
evil
woman
out
of
her
,
and
ye
a
married
man
!
It
's
a
God
's
blessin
'
for
ye
that
it
's
me
,
and
not
one
of
me
sons
,
that
's
here
talkin
'
to
ye
,
or
ye
would
n't
be
alive
to
say
what
ye
'd
do
.
"
The
old
man
was
grim
but
impotent
in
his
rage
.
"
I
'm
sorry
,
Mr.
Butler
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
quietly
.
"
I
'm
willing
to
explain
,
but
you
wo
n't
let
me
.
I
'm
not
planning
to
run
away
with
your
daughter
,
nor
to
leave
Philadelphia
.
You
ought
to
know
me
well
enough
to
know
that
I
'm
not
contemplating
anything
of
that
kind
;
my
interests
are
too
large
.
You
and
I
are
practical
men
.
We
ought
to
be
able
to
talk
this
matter
over
together
and
reach
an
understanding
.
I
thought
once
of
coming
to
you
and
explaining
this
;
but
I
was
quite
sure
you
would
n't
listen
to
me
.
Now
that
you
are
here
I
would
like
to
talk
to
you
.
If
you
will
come
up
to
my
room
I
will
be
glad
to
--
otherwise
not
.
Wo
n't
you
come
up
?
"
Butler
saw
that
Cowperwood
had
the
advantage
.
He
might
as
well
go
up
.
Otherwise
it
was
plain
he
would
get
no
information
.
