"You are to be given up by the chief on the payment of your ransom."
"Yes."
"I wish I could prevent this robbery, but I cannot, as it is simply beyond my power to do so."
"I do not ask it of you."
"Granted; but your being returned will not end it all."
"How do you mean?"
"You came here for an avowed purpose, as I understand it."
"I did, Mr. Wolf."
"That purpose was to find one who had come West on a special mission."
"Granted again."
