“Have I? Well, I heard it all. The real murderer will be here to-morrow, and then what will they hold him for?”
“My brother?”
“Yes, your brother.”
“We must be out of here before to-morrow comes. What can we do? Now, Pat, make your wits work fast.”

“Don’t let that worry you, Pat. I have plenty.”
“Well, if you have plenty, if you give your brother back his money, you would be out of here as soon as he would, and save all scandal, and he a poor man freed from here, wouldn’t he keep his mouth shut if he could be made a gentleman out of?”
“Pat, you do not understand.”
“Well, then, explain it to me so I can understand. Can you do it?”
