"Well, you were with me, and I will give you some of it."
"I don't want any of it."
"Don't you?"
"No, I don't; I don't think it is fair for you to try to make it out that I helped you steal the money, when I didn't, and when I didn't know anything about it."
"You knew I had some money before you got into the boat. You are scared—that's all."
"I am scared, and I wish I hadn't come."
"I wish you hadn't, because you are so frightened; but now you have gone so far, you can't back out. You want to return to Woodville, and tell them I stole the money."
"No, I don't."
"I'm never going back to Woodville again. They have been talking about sending me to my uncle's, in Minnesota, and I'm not going to be sent there."
"What shall I do, then?" demanded Kate, awed and astonished at the desperate purpose of her friend.
