"Did you tell Mr. Cotter," Millicent laughed, after a pause, "that I had a half share in the money?" "No, that was a matter for you to decide, not for me. I told him that I was only a half shareholder, but there was no necessity to say who it was who had the other half.
"But I cannot imagine how you should have detected the cheating," the banker said. "You are younger than my son, and he said that you told him that you had only recently come up to London. It is astonishing that while experienced players should never have noticed that anything was wrong you should have discovered it." "The explanation is simple, Mr. Cotter.
But, gentlemen," he spoke sternly now, "remember that we have a long list against you, and that the next victim, or let us say his father, might be more disposed to push matters to their full length than is Mr. Cotter.
