When all were there, the leader said:
“Now, ef ye’re ready fer business at last, let’s git at it without any palaver.”

“Prove it.”
Leonard glanced at Snell, who slowly drew a wallet from his pocket, and took from it a number of one-thousand-dollar bills.

“I’d ruther ’twas gold,” muttered the leader, “but it looks straight enough.”
“It’s perfectly straight,” said Snell, closing the wallet.
