And if they had it they would make of it a thing of passion, so that its own mother I mean the mother of cautiousness wouldn't recognize it.

However, he realized that she had told him something worth while. It was unlikely that there was more than one counterfeiting band in Chicago at this time.
Gania was surprised, but cautiously kept silence and looked at his mother, hoping that she would express herself more clearly.
