"That will carry off only a few watchmen and engineers. Mighty tough luck for them." "It can't be helped," Sullivan said ruthlessly. "You can't expect to carry through a thing of this sort without some sacrifice. All we can do is to believe that the end justifies the means. It's a case of the greatest good to the greatest number." "I suppose so." "Well, then, why hesitate?"

However that may be, he did not hesitate for a moment; he opened the iron-bound valise, took out a yellow-leather box with a patent lock, and, having opened it, flung its contents a large sealed envelope-to me, exactly as I had flung the banknotes to him.
