"Refund the money!" cried Bagshot. "Why, you know what small part of it fell to my share!" "How?" replied Wild.
The gentleman then protested he had not any, which Snap seconded, declaring he had his eyes on him all the while; but Bagshot remained still unsatisfied, till Wild, rapping out a hearty oath, swore he had not taken a single farthing, adding that whoever asserted the contrary gave him the lie, and he would resent it.
