"What was this man's name?"
"That's why I say he's no good. He called himself Jerry Morton, but it didn't take me long to find out that his name was really Jerry Morgan. Now a man with two names is usually a crook, to my way of thinkin'."
"He gave up his job here this morning, did he not?"
"Did he?"
"Yes. Can you tell why he should have done so? Was he not well enough paid?"
"Too well, I take it. He got the same money I do, and I done twice as much work. So he's chucked it, has he? Well, I shouldn't wonder if there was good reason."
"What reason?"
"Oh, I don't know. That story about old Quadrant floatin' back was in the papers to-day, wasn't it?"
"Yes."
"Very well. There you are."
