You'll lose nothing not even a reputation. You may lose a SOUL, of course. But that's a detail, among such a hoard of banknotes and trouser-buttons. Ha-ha! What's a soul, to them ?" "What is it to you, is perhaps the more pertinent question," said Algy, flapping his eyelids like some crazy owl.

One of these is at the end of a long bay, called Ha-Ha Bay.
