[halftheduet]

[mademechief]

[halftheduet]

The less you ask for payment, sir, the more grateful they will be, and the higher the reward when you do ask.

[mademechief]

[halftheduet]

Debts are far more useful than exchanges. Debts accrue interest.

[Stephen...stop encouraging him.]

And at maddeningly quick rates, they do.
