“That’s the sort of a fellow for a pard! Of course you’re the lad to tie to. The wonder is that you’re still willing to hang onto me.”

“That’s right! And how the colonel has used that Country Club! The members of the club will be tickled to death if they ever find it out. You can do something to that tinhorn, Kelly, if you want to.”
“I don’t want to. He was working for Levitt——”
“Just as I was working for the colonel, eh? Maybe he was as badly fooled, too.”
