"Because your doubt is offensive to my feelings."
"How so?"
"Hang it, I fancy I speak clearly. Killing a man is nothing when you are well paid for it."
"I will pay well."
"Beforehand?"
"Yes, if you like."
"How much?"
"I warn you that the man I refer to is but a poor fellow."
"Yes, a poor fellow who is troublesome to you. Well, go on."
