"You'll have to move out of here right away. This place is enough to give one the colly-wabbles. If you'll be ready to-morrow, I'll send my man over to help you take care of the luggage."
"To-morrow will be all right, thank you," she replied.
He put his hand in his pocket and took out a big roll of money. Peeling off five yellow-backed bills and placing them on the table, he said:
"And you'll need some money in the meantime. I'll leave this here."
