Paul explains that he cannot go before the Derby (a big horse race). His mother tells him that gambling runs in the family, and she is concerned by how invested he has become in horse racing. Paul refuses to be sent away from the house. He assures his mother over and over that she doesn't need to worry about him.

Answer:
Paul insisted that he couldn't possibly leave before the Derby. The mother didn't like him worrying about horse races as the family had a history of gambling problems, but Paul didn't want to reveal to her why he didn't want to leave the house. ... As the Derby grew closer, Paul became more tense.
