Baker's face turned dark.

Carola laughed again, her eyes filled with scorn. "That's your company. Why should I concern myself with it?" "You..." Baker sputtered, too furious to speak.
Damn it! How could he forget about that one vital detail?

Baker looked at Carola and tried to appeal to her emotions. "We've been married for so many years, Carola. Doesn't that count for something? Can you really just sit back and do nothing when I am in trouble?"
