If I'd known I was done for when I was up in the bush, I wouldn't have pushed on quite so fast,

If Drayton will come along with me, I'll send him back with a hundred dollars. It's part of the first payment. Your getting it now should make things a little easier for Celia.

But you haven't located the spruce yet!

I'm going to locate it, if the thing's anyway possible. Vane shook hands with the man.

gpt
You're white--and I guess you'd be mighty hard to beat!
human
I'm glad I brought you across. You have a way of getting hold of people--making them believe in you. Hartley hasn't a word in writing, but he knows you mean to act square with him. Kitty felt the same thing--it was why she came down in the sloop with you.

Now that you mention it, I don't think Hartley was wise; and you were equally confiding. We have only arrived at a rather indefinite understanding about your share.
human
We'll leave it at that. I haven't struck anybody else in this city who would hear about the thing. Anyway, I'd prefer a few shares in the concern, as mentioned, instead of money. If you get the thing on foot, I guess it will go.

Won't they raise trouble at the mill about your staying out? Vane inquired.
human
We have still to go for that hundred dollars.
