"I am going to," said Mac as if the idea was a new one. "Once I get squared up, you bet I'll stay so. But that doesn't help me out of this mess.
"Stop," said Wilton, "here's another fellow, Mac, who hasn't signed;" and he dragged Elgood out of bed by one arm. "Oh, you haven't signed, haven't you? Well, we shall make short work of you. Here's the pencil, here's the paper, and here's the place for your name. Now, you poor little fool, sign without giving us any more trouble." Elgood trembled and hesitated.
"Hello, Mac," exclaimed Marcus; "busy? Brought my cousin round about that broken tooth." McTeague nodded his head gravely. "In a minute," he answered.

Yet Montjoy made short work of Aquila and Tyrone.
Shandon without turning, laughed aloud, all the relief after months of hiding breaking out into laughter that was utterly unlike the sound that had come so short a time ago from Hume's contemptuous lips. It was a great, boyish, carefree, reckless laugh that made men wonder. "Next time, Mac," he shouted back. "Ten to one you can't catch me before I beat Hume to it!"
