So we goes on arguing; but at last he lets out that if I bring him a 'tenner' in the course of the week he will shut up. I ain't allowed of course, Mr. Norris, that any of you young gents had a hand in the fray, quite the contrary; but he has got it into his head that it is so, and he has made up his mind that he will go to the master. I don't think it likely that they could spot you, for they could hardly have got a fair look at your faces.

No, Frank said,

I don't suppose they would recognise any of us; but the first thing Litter would do would be to ask us if any of us were concerned in the affair. It's a beastly nuisance, for just now I happen to be completely cleaned out, and I am sure I do not know where I could get ten pounds from.
gpt
If it had been any other time I could have helped you, Mr. Norris, but I paid my brewers only last night, and I ain't got two quid in the house; but I might manage to get it for you by the end of the week, if there ain't no other way. But my advice to you would be, let the red-haired man go to the master; if you keep your own counsel, no one can swear it out against you.
human
No, I won't do that, Perkins, Frank said,

This is a bad business indeed, Harris said.
human
By Jove! if it comes out, Litter would expel the four of us. What is to be done? I am sure I don't know.
gpt
I don't see where I am to get ten pounds; I have only got fifteen shillings now.
human
I have only seven and sixpence, Harris said.

I have paid Shotten's bill for last term this week, and I know that Travers and James have not much more than I have. We might get something on our watches; but they are all silver, and I don't suppose we could get more than a pound apiece for them. But still that's something, and with our united silver would make up six pounds.

I could get a pound or two from my cousin, Frank said;
gpt
Fred always seems to be well supplied with money.
human
Because he never spends any, Harris said.
gpt
I am mistaken if Barkley will lend you anything.
human
Oh, he will lend it if he's got it.
gpt
I am very sorry, Frank, he said when he had finished,
human
I thought you always had money,
gpt
Not always, Fred replied quietly.

As you know, I am fond of books, and last week I paid my bill for that edition of Shakespeare that you were admiring.
