That the work would prove expensive was a matter of course. Money was the one particular thing of which he stood in need. Nevertheless, at the sheriff's suggestion he calmly shook his head. "Thanks, old man. Blood-money wouldn't circulate worth a whoop in my system. But I think I could land Cayuse." He held no grudge against Culver now.
I never spoke of him, madam. He is outlawed, condemned, with a fine reward upon him. We shot at him to-day; we shall shoot at him again; and before very long we must hit him. Ma'am, it is my duty to the king, the Constitution, the service I belong to, and the babes I have begotten." "Blood-money poisons all innocent mouths, Sir, and breaks out for generations.
He has killed three brothers, one at the feet of the other; men of noble minds who would not weigh each other against their purses. Now, Thorfinn, it will not avail you to beg for Grettir; I will not do such a wrong in the land as to accept atonement for such a crime as this." Then Bersi the son of Skaldtorfa came up and begged the jarl to accept blood-money.
Then turning to Judas, he said, "And thou, abject wretch, dost thou not blush to sell thy Lord and master, thou God-forgetting traitor whom the earth shall swallow up? For thirty pieces of silver wouldst thou now sell that most loving friend and benefactor? O, pause while there is yet time. That blood-money will cry to heaven for vengeance, will burn like hot iron thy avaricious soul!"
The darned creetur's been tempted by the blood-money set on Kumel Miranda's head, an' air too like to git it. They'll grup him, sure; an's like as not gie him the garota. Poor gentleman! He air the noblest Mexikin I iver sot eyes on, an' desarves a better fate. As for the ole doc, he may get off arter sarvin' a spell in prison, an' the saynorita " A groan from Hamersley interrupts the remark.
'The wages of sin is death. Yes, that is right. He is dead; the blow fell first on him, that was right, and I am about to die; and you what will happen to you, the Judas of the plot, eh? You do not think that you will enjoy your blood-money in peace, do you?" "What do you mean?" asked Philip, nervously; her wild way frightened him. "Mean! why, that you are the sorriest knave of all.
Thorgils appeared before the court and offered blood-money in atonement on condition of Thorgeir not being sentenced to banishment. He endeavoured to meet the charge by pleading that finds in the Almenningar were free to all. The question whether this was a valid defence or not was referred to the Lawman, who at that time was Skapti. He upheld Asmund's view on account of their kinship together.
For money to stand out and receive interest I don't like that. It has to suck the interest somewhere or other, and of course it's from the poor. Interest is blood-money, Andres and it's a new-fangled contrivance, too. When I was young we knew nothing about getting interest on our money."
"You are not to leave him," he cried, "till his soul has left his body." The two expressed their hearty concurrence with this arrangement, and took leave of their host for the night, going, they said, to distribute the seven packages of blood-money.
"And you're doin' it for the money the reward." "That's my business." "Go ahead," said the tramp. "I hope you have a good time blowin' in the dough.
