"I am not ready to sell it not to sell it outright; you might, perhaps, make me a small loan which would answer my purpose. Its value is about sixty pounds some three hundred dollars of your money. At least, it cost that. It is one of Vickery's, of London, and it is almost new." Kling glanced sharply at the intruder. "I don't keep open often so late like dis. You must come in de morning."
The Kling took the great wooden fruit, laid it on the thwart of the boat, and reaching a heavy knife from the side, he inserted it at the head of a faint line, one of five to be seen running down the wooden shell of the fruit, and following this mark, he was able to open the curious production, and divide it into portions like an orange.
