ancial situation, that you
can advise me wisely, or act alone, as the occasion may demand."
"Pardon me, sweetheart! What of our coming conference with your father,
Fennimore Fenwick? Is that to be postponed until we have finished the
preliminary work, which you have outlined?"
"Yes, my lover! I would not have you take part in the consultation,
