"I have no money to bet you, Robert."
"I will give you odds."
"You well know I do not bet--is it not so?"
"You are always wanting money; now I will bet you the bank-note against one dollar, Francis, that you cannot stop him on 'two'."
Francis threw an eye at the money in Kimberly's hand. "How much is the bank-note, Robert?"
"One hundred dollars."
Francis put the temptation behind him. "You would lose your money. Sugar knows how to stop. In any case, I have no dollar."
"I will bet the money against ten cents."
"I have not even ten cents."
"I am sorry, Francis, to see a man receiving as large a salary as you do, waste it in dissipation and luxury. However, if you have no money, I will bet against your habit."
