"But what if I had not made up my mind before the last came?"
"Then I fear He would say to you, 'Depart from me, thou worker of iniquity.'"
"That would be hard when another minute might have done it."
"If another minute would have done it, you would have had it."
A paroxysm of pain followed, during which Mr. Graham silently left him.
