"No, sir, I will not."
"You knocked me down in the street, and took my money from me."
"At your request I took it; and you were kind enough to pay me the balance in my favor when we parted at the police station," I replied.
"You must give me back that money, Phil."
"Not if I know it. Let me remind you that the money belonged to me, and that I did not charge you any interest upon it for the time you had it."
"The money wasn't yours. It belonged to Matt Rockwood. You stole it; and I intended to get all I could for my friend here, Morgan Blair, to whom all of it belongs."
"You and your friend seem to understand each other very well, except so far as the pistol is concerned."
"I act for him. He is a young fellow, and don't know much about the ways of the world."
"He appears to be learning very rapidly."
"He is the rightful heir of the man up the river, whose money you have. I expect you to give it up to him."
