Oh, yes, you do: you don't know it; but you do. It's no use, Miss Clandon: you can't put me down. I tell you your name will soon be neither Clandon nor Crampton; and I could tell you what it will be if I chose. Mr. Crampton: your notion of going to law is all nonsense: your children will be of age before you could get the point decided. You can do nothing but make a friendly arrangement. If you want your family more than they want you, you'll get the worse of the arrangement: if they want you more than you want them, you'll get the better of it. The strength of their position lies in their being very agreeable people personally. The strength of your position lies in your income. Yes: you think I can't; but I can. Come along.
