“We just held the two coves up, while Monte Murphy gathered in some of their swag.”
“What did the swag consist of?”

“Why not?”
“How should you like to be done out of the proceeds of a job?”
“Shouldn’t like it at all.”
“Yet you were willing to give that medicine to another?”
“I was broke; and, besides, there is an old grudge between Cook and me.”
