“I told Mr. Rook you were disinherited and he rushed back to help you. Mr. Rook is a rather remarkable person.”
“Oh, chuck it,” said Mr. Rook with a hostile air.
“Mr. Rook is a monster,” said Father Brown with scientific calm. “He is an anachronism, an atavism, a brutal survivor of the Stone Age. If there was one barbarous superstition we all supposed to be utterly extinct and dead in these days, it was that notion about honour and independence.”
