Philip nodded.
"And even if I didn't told you," Marcus went on, "you could tell it from his face."
Again Philip nodded.
"And another thing I want to talk to you about," Marcus said, hastening after him: "the hundred dollars the boy gives you you should keep, Philip. And if you are spending more than that on the boy I would make it good."
Philip dug down absently into his trousers pocket and brought forth the roll of dirty bills.
"Take it," he said, throwing it toward his partner. "I don't want it."
"What d'ye mean you don't want it?" Marcus cried.
"I mean I ain't got no hard feelings against the boy," Philip replied. "I am thinking it over all night, and I come to the conclusion so long as I started in being the boy's uncle I would continue that way. So you should put the money in the savings bank like I says yesterday."
"But——" Marcus protested.
"But nothing," Philip interrupted. "Do what I am telling you."
