"Of course I will be."
"Your share of the money will be five hundred dollars. Shall you be satisfied with this?"
"I think I shall be," laughed Leopold, to whom the amount seemed like a fortune.
"You agree to take this as your share?"
"Yes; I agree to it."
"And to keep the secret?"
"On the conditions I named."
"I am satisfied with the conditions. If you and I don't get this money, somebody else will, who has no more right to it than we have."
"But who owns the money?" asked Leopold, whose views of an honest policy required him to settle this question first.
"Nobody."
