What d'ye want for this secret?
MRS. H. Nothing.
HORNBLOWER. Indeed! Wonderful!—the trouble ye've taken for— nothing.
MRS. H. If you harm us we shall harm you. Any use whatever of the

MRS. H. We will buy it from you.
HORNBLOWER. At what price?
MRS. H. The Centry at the price Miss Muffins would have taken at first, and Longmeadow at the price you—gave us—four thousand five hundred altogether.
