Perhaps another of Gadgem's thumb-screws could be fastened on some delinquent and thus extort a drop or two; or the bank might begin paying ten per cent.; or another prepayment might be squeezed out of a ground rent.
The boy was thoroughly angry now. The lift of Gadgem's eyebrows did it. "You rode the horse, sir." This came with a certain air of "Oh! I have you now."
