"You're a good lad, Patsy. God bless you!"
"Don't worry about me, chief; not at all. I will be all right. The hobo hasn't been born yet who can get away with me."
"Don't forget that there are perhaps one hundred of them."
"I'm not forgetting it."
"And that the worst and most dangerous of the lot is the man called Handsome."
"I'll not forget that, either."
Nick rose from the table and stretched out his hand.
