"
Very
well
,
"
he
said
.
Cowperwood
led
the
way
quite
amicably
,
and
,
having
entered
his
private
office
,
closed
the
door
behind
him
.
"
We
ought
to
be
able
to
talk
this
matter
over
and
reach
an
understanding
,
"
he
said
again
,
when
they
were
in
the
room
and
he
had
closed
the
door
.
"
I
am
not
as
bad
as
you
think
,
though
I
know
I
appear
very
bad
.
"
Butler
stared
at
him
in
contempt
.
"
I
love
your
daughter
,
and
she
loves
me
.
I
know
you
are
asking
yourself
how
I
can
do
this
while
I
am
still
married
;
but
I
assure
you
I
can
,
and
that
I
do
.
I
am
not
happily
married
.
I
had
expected
,
if
this
panic
had
n't
come
along
,
to
arrange
with
my
wife
for
a
divorce
and
marry
Aileen
.
My
intentions
are
perfectly
good
.
The
situation
which
you
can
complain
of
,
of
course
,
is
the
one
you
encountered
a
few
weeks
ago
.
It
was
indiscreet
,
but
it
was
entirely
human
.
Your
daughter
does
not
complain
--
she
understands
.
"
At
the
mention
of
his
daughter
in
this
connection
Butler
flushed
with
rage
and
shame
,
but
he
controlled
himself
.
"
And
ye
think
because
she
does
n't
complain
that
it
's
all
right
,
do
ye
?
"
he
asked
,
sarcastically
.
"
From
my
point
of
view
,
yes
;
from
yours
no
.
You
have
one
view
of
life
,
Mr.
Butler
,
and
I
have
another
.
"
"
Ye
're
right
there
,
"
put
in
Butler
,
"
for
once
,
anyhow
.
"
"
That
does
n't
prove
that
either
of
us
is
right
or
wrong
.
In
my
judgment
the
present
end
justifies
the
means
.
The
end
I
have
in
view
is
to
marry
Aileen
.
If
I
can
possibly
pull
myself
out
of
this
financial
scrape
that
I
am
in
I
will
do
so
.
Of
course
,
I
would
like
to
have
your
consent
for
that
--
so
would
Aileen
;
but
if
we
ca
n't
,
we
ca
n't
.
"
(
Cowperwood
was
thinking
that
while
this
might
not
have
a
very
soothing
effect
on
the
old
contractor
's
point
of
view
,
nevertheless
it
must
make
some
appeal
to
his
sense
of
the
possible
or
necessary
.
Aileen
's
present
situation
was
quite
unsatisfactory
without
marriage
in
view
.
And
even
if
he
,
Cowperwood
,
was
a
convicted
embezzler
in
the
eyes
of
the
public
,
that
did
not
make
him
so
.
He
might
get
free
and
restore
himself
--
would
certainly
--
and
Aileen
ought
to
be
glad
to
marry
him
if
she
could
under
the
circumstances
.
He
did
not
quite
grasp
the
depth
of
Butler
's
religious
and
moral
prejudices
.
)
"
Lately
,
"
he
went
on
,
"
you
have
been
doing
all
you
can
,
as
I
understand
it
,
to
pull
me
down
,
on
account
of
Aileen
,
I
suppose
;
but
that
is
simply
delaying
what
I
want
to
do
.
"
"
Ye
'd
like
me
to
help
ye
do
that
,
I
suppose
?
"
suggested
Butler
,
with
infinite
disgust
and
patience
.
"
I
want
to
marry
Aileen
,
"
Cowperwood
repeated
,
for
emphasis
'
sake
.
"
She
wants
to
marry
me
.
Under
the
circumstances
,
however
you
may
feel
,
you
can
have
no
real
objection
to
my
doing
that
,
I
am
sure
;
yet
you
go
on
fighting
me
--
making
it
hard
for
me
to
do
what
you
really
know
ought
to
be
done
.
"
"
Ye
're
a
scoundrel
,
"
said
Butler
,
seeing
through
his
motives
quite
clearly
.
"
Ye
're
a
sharper
,
to
my
way
of
thinkin
'
,
and
it
's
no
child
of
mine
I
want
connected
with
ye
.
I
'm
not
sayin
'
,
seein
'
that
things
are
as
they
are
,
that
if
ye
were
a
free
man
it
would
n't
be
better
that
she
should
marry
ye
.
It
's
the
one
dacent
thing
ye
could
do
--
if
ye
would
,
which
I
doubt
.
But
that
's
nayther
here
nor
there
now
.
What
can
ye
want
with
her
hid
away
somewhere
?
Ye
ca
n't
marry
her
.
Ye
ca
n't
get
a
divorce
.
Ye
've
got
your
hands
full
fightin
'
your
lawsuits
and
kapin
'
yourself
out
of
jail
.
She
'll
only
be
an
added
expense
to
ye
,
and
ye
'll
be
wantin
'
all
the
money
ye
have
for
other
things
,
I
'm
thinkin
'
.
Why
should
ye
want
to
be
takin
'
her
away
from
a
dacent
home
and
makin
'
something
out
of
her
that
ye
'd
be
ashamed
to
marry
if
you
could
?
The
laist
ye
could
do
,
if
ye
were
any
kind
of
a
man
at
all
,
and
had
any
of
that
thing
that
ye
're
plased
to
call
love
,
would
be
to
lave
her
at
home
and
keep
her
as
respectable
as
possible
.
Mind
ye
,
I
'm
not
thinkin
'
she
is
n't
ten
thousand
times
too
good
for
ye
,
whatever
ye
've
made
of
her
.
But
if
ye
had
any
sinse
of
dacency
left
,
ye
would
n't
let
her
shame
her
family
and
break
her
old
mother
's
heart
,
and
that
for
no
purpose
except
to
make
her
worse
than
she
is
already
.
What
good
can
ye
get
out
of
it
,
now
?
What
good
can
ye
expect
to
come
of
it
?
Be
hivins
,
if
ye
had
any
sinse
at
all
I
should
think
ye
could
see
that
for
yerself
.
