“I haven’t quite got the plan yet, and want your advice. You see if I can get him out of the way for a few days, so he won’t show up, why old Goldwin will take me in his place. If I can once get in there, and remain till I get the run of things, we can have it our own way.”
gunwagner and felix agree upon a plan.

The possibilities of bold pilferings from the heaps of gold were most tempting to him, and he was now quite ready to commit himself to any feasible scheme to carry out Mortimer’s evil design. The old fence was an unscrupulous man, and he was ready to go to almost any length in crime to avail himself of an opportunity so tempting to his greed of gain.
The two confederates discussed the matter for some time, and at length they agreed upon a plan of action, which boded ill for our hero.
