“Yes, or at five hundred, either.”
“I don’t want them for less than they are worth. I’ll give you eight hundred dollars.”
“Oh, very well! I’ll take a thousand, if you prefer it.”
“Will you send word to the young lady that you have made the sale, and request her to call at four o’clock and get the money?”

“Yes.”
“And, further, will you relinquish all commissions on the sale?”
“Well, I don’t know about that.”
“Just as you like, Milford.”
