"I have the very best reasons for believing that Major Forrest has lied his way into whatever friendship he may have had with Lord Ronald and my brother." Forrest moved toward the door.
"Mr.De la Borne," he said to Cecil, "you will forgive me if I decline to remain here to be insulted by your brother." The Princess followed him from the room.

Cecil and Andrew were alone.
"D--n you, Andrew!" the former said, turning upon him, whitefaced, and with a sort of petulant anger.

"Why do you come here and spoil things like this ?" Andrew stood upon the hearthrug, and looked at his brother, black and forbidding.
"Cecil," he said, "my life has been spoilt by paying for your excesses.
Ever since I came of age I have been hampered all the time by paying your debts and providing you with money.

I even let you pose here as the master of the Red Hall because it pleased you.

I have had enough of it.
