“That is all.”
“And you are willing to pay me $500 for that?”
“Yes.”
Shirley was silent, apparently considering. Jones waited perhaps five minutes for her to speak, and then said:
“Well, what do you say?”
Shirley rose from her chair.
“I’ll do it,” she said quietly. “When do I get the money?”
“After the Derby.”
“Very well,” said Shirley, “you may count upon me to do my best.”
“That’s all, then,” said Jones, also rising. “I will make it a point to see you just before the race starts.”
