Ye

to

and

"
He
stopped
,
rather
astonished
that
he
should
have
been
drawn
into
an
argument
.
His
contempt
for
this
man
was
so
great
that
he
could
scarcely
look
at
him
,
but
his
duty
and
his
need
was
to
get
Aileen
back
.
Cowperwood
looked
at
him
as
one
who
gives
serious
attention
to
another
.
He
seemed
to
be
thinking
deeply
over
what
Butler
had
said
.
"
To
tell
you
the
truth
,
Mr.
Butler
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
did
not
want
Aileen
to
leave
your
home
at
all
;
and
she
will
tell
you
so
,
if
you
ever
talk
to
her
about
it
.
I
did
my
best
to
persuade
her
not
to
,
and
when
she
insisted
on
going
the
only
thing
I
could
do
was
to
be
sure
she
would
be
comfortable
wherever
she
went
.
She
was
greatly
outraged
to
think
you
should
have
put
detectives
on
her
trail
.
That
,
and
the
fact
that
you
wanted
to
send
her
away
somewhere
against
her
will
,
was
the
principal
reasons
for
her
leaving
.
I
assure
you
I
did
not
want
her
to
go
.
I
think
you
forget
sometimes
,
Mr.
Butler
,
that
Aileen
is
a
grown
woman
,
and
that
she
has
a
will
of
her
own
.
You
think
I
control
her
to
her
great
disadvantage
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
I
am
very
much
in
love
with
her
,
and
have
been
for
three
or
four
years
;
and
if
you
know
anything
about
love
you
know
that
it
does
n't
always
mean
control
.
I
'm
not
doing
Aileen
any
injustice
when
I
say
that
she
has
had
as
much
influence
on
me
as
I
have
had
on
her
.
I
love
her
,
and
that
's
the
cause
of
all
the
trouble
.
You
come
and
insist
that
I
shall
return
your
daughter
to
you
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
I
do
n't
know
whether
I
can
or
not
.
I
do
n't
know
that
she
would
go
if
I
wanted
her
to
.
She
might
turn
on
me
and
say
that
I
did
n't
care
for
her
any
more
.
That
is
not
true
,
and
I
would
not
want
her
to
feel
that
way
.
She
is
greatly
hurt
,
as
I
told
you
,
by
what
you
did
to
her
,
and
the
fact
that
you
want
her
to
leave
Philadelphia
.
You
can
do
as
much
to
remedy
that
as
I
can
.
I
could
tell
you
where
she
is
,
but
I
do
not
know
that
I
want
to
.
Certainly
not
until
I
know
what
your
attitude
toward
her
and
this
whole
proposition
is
to
be
.
"
He
paused
and
looked
calmly
at
the
old
contractor
,
who
eyed
him
grimly
in
return
.
"
What
proposition
are
ye
talkin
'
about
?
"
asked
Butler
,
interested
by
the
peculiar
developments
of
this
argument
.
In
spite
of
himself
he
was
getting
a
slightly
different
angle
on
the
whole
situation
.
The
scene
was
shifting
to
a
certain
extent
.
Cowperwood
appeared
to
be
reasonably
sincere
in
the
matter
.
His
promises
might
all
be
wrong
,
but
perhaps
he
did
love
Aileen
;
and
it
was
possible
that
he
did
intend
to
get
a
divorce
from
his
wife
some
time
and
marry
her
.
Divorce
,
as
Butler
knew
,
was
against
the
rules
of
the
Catholic
Church
,
which
he
so
much
revered
.
The
laws
of
God
and
any
sense
of
decency
commanded
that
Cowperwood
should
not
desert
his
wife
and
children
and
take
up
with
another
woman
--
not
even
Aileen
,
in
order
to
save
her
.
It
was
a
criminal
thing
to
plan
,
sociologically
speaking
,
and
showed
what
a
villain
Cowperwood
inherently
was
;
but
,
nevertheless
,
Cowperwood
was
not
a
Catholic
,
his
views
of
life
were
not
the
same
as
his
own
,
Butler
's
,
and
besides
and
worst
of
all
(
no
doubt
due
in
part
to
Aileen
's
own
temperament
)
,
he
had
compromised
her
situation
very
materially
.
She
might
not
easily
be
restored
to
a
sense
of
of
the
normal
and
decent
,
and
so
the
matter
was
worth
taking
into
thought
.
Butler
knew
that
ultimately
he
could
not
countenance
any
such
thing
--
certainly
not
,
and
keep
his
faith
with
the
Church
--
but
he
was
human
enough
none
the
less
to
consider
it
.
Besides
,
he
wanted
Aileen
to
come
back
;
and
Aileen
from
now
on
,
he
knew
,
would
have
some
say
as
to
what
her
future
should
be
.
"
Well
,
it
's
simple
enough
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
.
"
I
should
like
to
have
you
withdraw
your
opposition
to
Aileen
's
remaining
in
Philadelphia
,
for
one
thing
;
and
for
another
,
I
should
like
you
to
stop
your
attacks
on
me
.
"
Cowperwood
smiled
in
an
ingratiating
way
.
He
hoped
really
to
placate
Butler
in
part
by
his
generous
attitude
throughout
this
procedure
.
"
I
ca
n't
make
you
do
that
,
of
course
,
unless
you
want
to
.
I
merely
bring
it
up
,
Mr.
Butler
,
because
I
am
sure
that
if
it
had
n't
been
for
Aileen
you
would
not
have
taken
the
course
you
have
taken
toward
me
.
I
understood
you
received
an
anonymous
letter
,
and
that
afternoon
you
called
your
loan
with
me
.
Since
then
I
have
heard
from
one
source
and
another
that
you
were
strongly
against
me
,
and
I
merely
wish
to
say
that
I
wish
you
would
n't
be
.
I
am
not
guilty
of
embezzling
any
sixty
thousand
dollars
,
and
you
know
it
.
My
intentions
were
of
the
best
.
I
did
not
think
I
was
going
to
fail
at
the
time
I
used
those
certificates
,
and
if
it
had
n't
been
for
several
other
loans
that
were
called
I
would
have
gone
on
to
the
end
of
the
month
and
put
them
back
in
time
,
as
I
always
had
.
I
have
always
valued
your
friendship
very
highly
,
and
I
am
very
sorry
to
lose
it
.
Now
I
have
said
all
I
am
going
to
say
.
"
Butler
looked
at
Cowperwood
with
shrewd
,
calculating
eyes
.
The
man
had
some
merit
,
but
much
unconscionable
evil
in
him
.
Butler
knew
very
well
how
he
had
taken
the
check
,
and
a
good
many
other
things
in
connection
with
it
.
The
manner
in
which
he
had
played
his
cards
to-night
was
on
a
par
with
the
way
he
had
run
to
him
on
the
night
of
the
fire
.
He
was
just
shrewd
and
calculating
and
heartless
.
