"No." He quickly whipped his purse out of his pocket, opened it, and handed it to her. "Here, please take some."

People do anything to get money; they kill their souls for it.
"You can't go through that rain " "I will!" declared Laura, and she wrenched open the door once more. Jess could not hold her. Mother Wit plunged out into the storm. Never having deserted her chum but once and then involuntarily at a certain occasion long ago Jess was not going to be behind now. She dove likewise into the storm.
