"Robert, will you not sometime give me a letter to introduce me to the great banker who comes here, Hamilton?"
"He will not give you anything."
"He has so much money; how can he possibly need it all?"
"You forget, Francis, that nobody needs money so much as those that have it."
"Ah!"
"Hamilton may have no more money than I have, and you don't ask me for a million dollars."
"It is not necessary to ask you. You know I need it. If you could give it to me, you would."
"If I gave you a million dollars how should I ever get it back?"
Francis spoke with all seriousness. "God will pay you back."
"Yes, but when? That is a good deal of money to lend to God."
