"I'm beginning to see my way with old Brown," continued Brisket; "and, to tell you the truth at once, I don't mean to be interfered with."
"Has—my partner—promised—her hand to you?"
"Yes, he has; and five hundred pounds with it."
"And she—?"
"Oh, she's all right. There isn't any doubt about she. I've just come from she, as you call her. Now that I see my way, she and I is to be one."
"And where's the money to come from, Mr. Brisket?"
"The father 'll stand the money—in course."
"I don't know where he'll get it, then; certainly not out of the capital of our business, Mr. Brisket. And since you are so keen about seeing your way, Mr. Brisket, I advise you to be quite sure that you do see it."
"That's my business, young man; I've never been bit yet, and I don't know as I'm going to begin now. I never moves till I see my way. They as does is sure to tumble."
"Well; see your way," said Robinson. "See it as far as your natural lights will enable you to look. It's nothing to me."
