"With good cause."

"Yes, Toby. With good cause." She went on staring at me. "You think Roger's answerable for his father's cavalier attitude to the health of the Colbonite workforce?"

"I think Roger aided and abetted his father in evading responsibility for the consequences, Jenny. By which I mean financial consequences. I also think Roger may have taken extreme steps to silence Derek Oswin on the point."

"Rubbish. I don't believe for a moment Roger's even been to see Oswin."

"Where's Derek gone, then?"

"How should I know?"

"You say Roger told you about all this a long time ago?"

"Yes."

"How come you didn't recognize Derek's surname when I mentioned it to you, then?"

"Roger never actually told me the name of the man who killed his father, as far as I can remember. If he had, I might well have forgotten. I didn't think it mattered. I still don't."

"What about the cancer cases, Jenny? Not a penny paid in compensation.

How does Roger square that with his conscience? How do you?"

"Sir Walter resorted to undeniably shady tactics when he wound the company up. Roger makes no secret of that. He protested against them at the time and fell out with his father as a result."

"We only have Roger's word for that, presumably."

"I believe him."

"Naturally. And let's suppose it's true. Just for the sake of argument. Suppose Roger really did advocate coming clean about the chloro-anilines but was overruled by his old man. Why didn't he do something about it when Sir Walter died and he inherited the wherewithal to pay out some long overdue compensation?"
