Couple of hundred marks, enough?
gpt
You don't know Vandervelt, or you wouldn't offer a trifle like that,
human
How much then? I'm not yet a partner in Krupp's, remember.
gpt
What's it worth to you?
human
Fischer was going to do it for nothing last night. He's almost as sorry for my sister as I am.
gpt
Vandervelt isn't Fischer, he replied drily.
human
Doesn't a thousand marks strike you as cheap?
gpt
Out of the question, Glocken. She must have something in her pocket when she lands; and in any case Fischer's going to arrange it in a day or so.
human
Hadn't she better be off at once? Delays are apt to be dangerous sometimes, you know.
gpt
Why?
human
You know your own business, he muttered with a shrug.
gpt
But you'd better give the thousand, if you want her to go.
