"Have you full authority to act for Mr. Bradford?"
"Yes, as I can show you."
"I'll take your word for it. Sell to me."
"Are you willing to buy?"
"Yes, if you'll give me a good bargain?"
"What would you consider a good bargain, Jim?"
"I'll pay you twelve thousand dollars for the share you have to sell, money down, or my draft on Chicago."
"Will it be worth that to you?"
"It will be worth more or I wouldn't buy, but it isn't worth that to your principal, for he can't be here to look after old Fox with his tricks."
"He may try some of them on you, Jim."
