"Too late for what?"
"That's jest what I can't tell you."
"It may be possible I shall make you."
"You can try; but it won't be any use, for I won't say a word to anybody but him."
"He has nothing to do with this case of passing counterfeit money."
"I know it; but there's somethin' else of a good deal more importance that he's got a finger in. It don't make any difference to me, about the money, for I've done nothin' wrong, however you try to fix it."
