All Benjamin Chudley wanted was the first half of the sentence, to get the contract for himself. As for the relationship between Belly Wescott and George Flack, he didn't care at all, but he responded anyway, "Alright, I'll see to it."
By the time Belly Wescott returned to the Flack family home, it was already dark, and George Flack and Dylan Flack were just having dinner.
