Kapitel 11: III
Just after Fake was gone, Gully leaned back in the couch, where she always lay; George took the newspaper and started to read it; Paul sat beside his mother; John headed to his room to read whatever he was reading at that time, and Swindle said:
"You know what, Gully? You should take a vacation."
All Gully, John and Paul turned to Swindle and glanced at him puzzled.
"I'd love that, Ringo, but I don't have the age nor the money to do so," said the geriatric Gully.
"Don't worry, Gully, you're still young, and you have those three to help you out with everything you need. And don't worry about the money; I'll take care of it, I'll manage your investments from now on."
"What?!" John exclaimed and pointed at Swindle threateningly—even though it goes without saying that this threat had no effect on Swindle. "I don't know what you're thinking, but we don't need your help."

Swindle took the travel bag, dialed a number and headed to his room to speak privately.
John headed to his room to continue his reading.
"Well," Paul said to his mother. But she was already sleeping—. "It seems we need to ask for our vacation week. But we really needed it. Or what do you think, George?"
"Do as you please," George said without taking his eyes off the newspaper. "As long as we don't lose our money or our jobs."
