John T. Unger was on the eve of departure. Mrs. Unger, with maternal fatuity, packed his trunks full of linen suits and electric fans, and Mr. Unger presented his son with an asbestos pocket-book stuffed with money.
‘Remember, you are always welcome here,’ he said. ‘You can be sure, boy, that we’ll keep the home fires burning. ’
‘I know,’ answered John huskily.
‘Don’t forget who you are and where you come from,’ continued his father proudly, ‘and you can do nothing to harm you. You are an Unger – from Hades. ’
