Yet he had just told Ken- dall that he would have nothing more to do with that kind of work. He had begun to develop a conscienceâ€"for Julia’s sake, perhaps. for his (laugh . ter’s futureâ€"and here came Kerr who? wanted him to go down once more into the maelstrom of shady politics for the sake of his daughter.
