They quarreled then?
And over a matter of money ?" "Yes.

Radnor makes no secret of it.

He wanted his father to settle something on him, and upon his father's refusal some words passed between them." "And a French clock," suggested Terry.
I acknowledged the clock and Terry pondered the question with one eye closed meditatively.
"Had Radnor ever asked for anything of the sort before ?" "Not that I know of." "Why did he ask then ?" "Well, it's rather galling for a man of his age to be dependent on his father for every cent he gets.

The Colonel always gave him plenty, but he did not want to take it in that way." "In just what way did he want to take it ?" Terry inquired.

"Since he was so infernally independent why didn't he get to work and earn something ?" "Earn something!" I returned sharply.
