"You have been so anxious to buy me out that I wonder if you have not some other reason. Bankers so seldom tell the real truth.
"At any rate, whatever your reason is, this letter is to tell you that you are wasting your time in making me offers. 'Hitchings Plantation' is going to remain open as long as I have anything to do with it. There is no reason why I should have any sympathy for your delicacy about the family name. As a matter of fact, I feel that my particular way of earning my living is about as honorable as yours, even if it doesn't pay so well."
(from Think Fast, Mr. Moto, by John P. Marquand)
