“No, Harry; either you or I must part with these. Who is it to be?”
“Let Pradelle take them.”

“But you heard what he said yesterday?”
“Yes, and I do not believe it. Come, Harry, for your own sake, for mine.”
“Yes, yes; but wait.”
“You forced me into this compromising position to help you escape from England.”
“I could not help it.”
“I am not blaming you; I only say act, or let me.”
