"I think he would if he knew where to find it."

"Don't fret, mother; I guess it's all right."
"Perhaps you had better go home at once without waiting for me, Dan. You can go quicker."
"All right; I'll do it. Where is the money?"
"In my pocket-book, in the drawer of the work-table."
"Are the drawers locked?"
"No."
