Patsy's depression vanished as at the glare of a torch and the trumpet of danger. He nosed the air and sniffed like a horse.

"Begor!" said he. "You're full of——. There's no sense in that," said he sharply.

"That is what I would like to see, but everybody must act exactly as they are able to act."

"I tell you there isn't any sense in it; give me a reasonable thing to do in the name of God and I'll do it."

"That is the only thing I want done."

"What's the use of making a fool of me?"

"Am I demanding anything?"

When they had walked a few paces:

"What is it, after all!" said Patsy proudly.

He thrust his hands into his pockets and exhibited them full of gold and silver.
