“How much did Sanford give you for humbugging us?”
“For what?”
“For playing this trick on us?”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“The coxswain gave you a sovereign for fooling us. I’ll give you five species, which is more than a sovereign, if you do what I want.”
“I will,” replied Ole, promptly.
“In the first place, where are you taking us?”
“To Christiania.”
“Nonsense!” exclaimed the cashier, producing his book. “I know all about it. You ought to have gone to Lysthus, instead of taking the left hand road. We are two Norwegian miles out of our way now. Sanford has paid you a sovereign to lead us to some place he wishes to visit. Where is it?”
“I only do what’s right,” protested Ole.
