"Let the unfortunate man be his own brother. What are you dragging him in for all the time? One would think you didn't care to register any transfers, or dispose of any stock--mind running on something else. I say I will invest."
What does he mean by "What are you dragging him in"?
If you look upon google such construction, we notice that it is a very rare construction. I personally have no idea.
