Henry Graham: What will I do?Harold: What any gentleman of similar breeding and temperament would do in your position, sir.Henry Graham: Suicide?Harold: No, sir, I was not going to suggest suicide, I was going to suggest marriage.Henry Graham: Marriage? You mean to a woman?Harold: Yes sir, that is what I had in mind. It's the only way to acquire property without labor. There is inheritance, but I think your uncle has already stated his intention to leave everything he owns to Radio Free Europe.Henry Graham: Oh, I can't, Harold. I couldn't. I mean she'd be there, asking where I'd been, talking to me, talking. I wouldn't be able to bear it.Harold: Well, it was only a suggestion, sir, but the alternatives are very limited and unspeakably depressing, sir. If you do not commit suicide you would be poor.Henry Graham: Poor?Harold: Poor in the only real sense of the word sir, in that you will not be rich. You will have a little after you've sold everything, but in a country where every man is what he has, he who has very little is nobody very much. There is no such thing as genteel poverty here, sir.
