And there would be ample excuse for breaking the pledge to you simply on the ground of inhumanity." "War is inhumanity" said Seaton "The use of my discovery would be no worse than war." "Granted! but war makes money for certain sections of the community, you must think of that!" and Gwent's little shrewd eyes gleamed like bits of steel. "Money! money!
And Sam Gwent's fragmentary reflections flitting through his brain were more serious one might say more romantic, than the consideration of dollars, which usually occupied all his faculties.
And wherever hindrance comes in we are bound to remove and destroy it!" The last ash of Gwent's cigar fell to the floor, and Gwent himself rose from his chair. "Well, I suppose we've had our talk out" he said; "I came here prepared to offer you a considerable sum for your discovery but I can't go so far as a Government pledge. So I must leave you to it.
Every one can tell you that, my dear! It does not need Mr. Senator Gwent's assurance to emphasise the fact! That you find him an ugly old man is natural but that you should also think him 'very kind' DOES surprise me!" Manella gazed at him seriously her lovely eyes gleaming like jewels under her long black lashes. "You mock at everything," she said "It is a pity!"

Germany would make me a millionaire twice over for the monopoly of such a force! that is, if I wanted to be a millionaire, which I don't. But Gwent's a fool I must have scared him out of his wits, or he wouldn't write all this stuff about risks to my life, advising me to marry quickly and settle down! Good God! I? Marry and settle down? What a tame ending to a life's adventure! Hello, Manella!"
Now what you want me to do is this to represent the force and meaning of a certain substance which you have discovered, to the government of the United States and induce them to purchase it. Is that so?" "That is so!" and Roger Seaton fixed his eyes on Gwent's hard, lantern-jawed face with a fiery intensity "Remember, it's not child's play!
He could rule the whole world!" Gwent's nerves "jumped" for the second time. Roger Seaton's own words "I'll be master of the world" knocked repeatingly on his brain with an uncomfortable thrill. He gathered up the straying threads of his common sense and twisted them into a tough string. "That's all nonsense!" he said, as gruffly as he could "He's not a god by any means!
