"You'll oblige me by not mentioning to anybody that I have paid you any money," said Ben. "I have a reason for it."
"Of course."
"I can't tell you the reason."
"That's your affair."
"Now about the rest."
"Yes, about the rest."
"I think I can get it for you in a few days."
"I can wait a few days to oblige you, but I must go to the city as soon as I can get away. So please hurry up."
