"I am; I tell you it's certain death for a stranger to remain on this island to-night!"
"Suppose the stranger is not discovered, my good friend?"
"You are certain to be discovered. The whole island will be patrolled."
"You speak like a man who has had some dire experience."
"I would not remain on this island to-night for the fall value of it in dollars."
"Why do you specify to-night?"
"Oh, any other night it would be all right, but as you know, it is a business evening to-night, and they will be all on guard."
"I must take the chances."
"Well, good-bye; I go now."
"Good-bye; I will call and see you to-morrow and pay you your reward."
