Look here, father, about this man Morgan and his old sewing machine. Don't they want to get grandfather to put some money into it? Isn't that what he's up to?

You little silly! What on earth are you talking about? Eugene Morgan's perfectly able to finance his own inventions these days.

I'll bet he borrows money from Uncle Jack.

Georgie. Why do you say such a thing?

He just strikes me as that sort of a man. Isn't he father?

He was a fairly wild fellow twenty years ago. He's like you in one thing, Georgie. He spent too much money. Only he didn't have any mother to get money out of her grandfather for it. But I believe he's done fairly well of late years, and I doubt if he needs anybody else's money to back his horseless carriage.

Oh, what's he brought the old thing here for, then?

I'm sure I don't know. You'll want to ask him.
