"Just listen to reason, Phil," said Waterford, when Sanderson and the steward had gone.
"That's what I have been listening to all the time; but when you ask me to listen to you, that's quite another thing."
"You can keep that money."
"I have intended to do that all along, though I am much obliged to you for your kind permission to do so."
"You shall have more," pleaded he, beginning to be quite earnest.
"More of your stolen money?"
"It is my own—all I have."
"It is the proceeds of your St. Louis forgery."
"But there is money enough on board to satisfy you."
"No, there isn't. You may call it cant, if you please; but I would not do what I know to be wrong for all the money in the world. You had better be contented where you are, Mr. Waterford, for I know you too well to trust you."
