Ultimately, what came out of his mouth was, “Well, that’s good. I have something I want to discuss with you privately.”

Henry could guess that Alfred had to have something important to talk about with the abruptness of his visit, so with a faint smile, he said, “Let’s talk upstairs in the study.”

Henry paused in his coffee brewing.

Then, he served the coffee to Alfred and sat down opposite him.

Alfred struggled to quell his agitation and extinguished his cigarette.
