You are under a strain—over- wrought. Now I will repeat a query I made you when you first entered this room. In what manner can I be of service to the daughter of my old friend and revered customer, Ranceford Ker- shaw?” “You say you bought the mortgage as an investment. If 1 pay up the over- due interest will you renew it for five years at the same rate of interest?” “The present mortgage is at 6 per cent. It was made when money wasn't quite so tight as at present. I'm sorry, but a renewal will cost you 8 per cent. I'm getting that from others.” “Will you renew the unsecured notes and cut the interest on them to 8 per ent?” “Perhaps.
