“It’ll take more than you do to do it!” said Sam, defiantly.

“I wouldn’t dirty my hands with you!” said Sam, scornfully.

When Sam had gone, Tony turned to James.
I wonder whether I shall ever see you again, James?” he said, thoughtfully.
I hope so, Tony. I’m sorry you’re going; but you couldn’t expect Mr. Porter to swallow such a tough story as that.”
“Then you don’t believe it, James? I’ll come back some day just to prove to you that it is true.”
“Come back, at any rate; I shall be glad to see you. When do you go?”
“To-morrow morning.”
