Very likely he was afraid to betray himself\u003cbr\u003eif confronted with bad news at an inopportune time. Of course, \u003cbr\u003ethis did not stop the bad news from coming, \u003cbr\u003eand Master Kleeborn saw himself au bord d'un précipice, as the saying goes.\u003cbr\u003eHe was not quite ruined, but he was in fact, pour le moment, in a very urgent financial difficulty\u003cbr\u003eand only an infusion of ready money could rescue him if he was to avert defaulting on his payments, \u003cbr\u003ethe way so many others did then. Le pauvre homme! Just the thought of having to take such drastic\u003cbr\u003emeasures reduced him to despair.
