It was something about all this glue controversy not meaning anything to me in particular, and meaning a whole heap to him and his family.

Well, he was wrong about that two ways.

The first one was, it did mean a good deal to me to have him go back on me after so many years.

I don't need to say any more about it, except just to tell you it meant quite a little more to me than you'd think, maybe.

The other way he was wrong is, that how much a thing means to one man and how little it means to another ain't the right way to look at a business matter." "I suppose it isn't, Mr.Lamb." "No," he said.
