It's my fault; and I've got something over from my journey-money." The offer was gladly accepted, and at length, when the train reached Chatton, the three chums wished their companion good-bye, laughing heartily over their unexpected journey. "What time's the next train back to Ronleigh?" asked Jack, as he paid the money for their fare to the ticket-collector.
"Give me the journey-money, I will remain at Paris; but I will give a written engagement not to trouble you or your brother again. That should be sufficient." "It is not for you to judge of that. Begone! I have neither the time nor the wish to listen to you. Remember, Paris without a farthing, or Rome with twenty-five louis." Thereupon I called Clairmont, and told him to put the abbe out.
Besides, the men at the golf-club heard them singing 'Aaron and Moses. I shall have complaints about that from the parents of day-boys. Decency must be preserved."

How much money would be needed? That would depend. If they could cajole a slave the job would call only for cash for the instigators!" expenses, for journey-money and for a good sabre for the challenger, and at the last a bonus for all concerned. If a slave-owner had to be bribed, more cash and more money for bonuses would be required.

Tulke preserved that modesty till the last moment till the journey-money had been paid, and the boys were filling the brakes that took them to the station. Then the three tenderly constrained him to wait a while. "You see, Tulke, you may be a prefect," said Stalky, "but I've left the Coll. Do you see, Tulke, dear?" "Yes, I see.
On the other hand if he wants to go away, let him say where, and I will pay his journey-money this evening." "Nothing could be more generous. What do you say, abbe?" "I say that this is the way in which he drove me from Marseilles. What intolerable violence!"
