"Good! Now if you'll get better, I shall know where I'm at."

"If you are lost, it's the first time, I'm thinking, and I'm not so sure that I can set you straight."
"I'll take my chances. Who is Elijah Berl?"
Winston laughed.
"Oh, he's gotten hold of you, has he?"
"No, he hasn't; but I want to get hold of him to the extent of five thousand dollars. That is the limit of my cash money."
Winston smiled tolerantly.
"Elijah has certainly missed his calling. If he can work you up five thousand dollars' worth in an hour or so, I'll play him the limit against Wall street."
