No, keep your money and I'll try to make some more and we'll have a wonderful time helping others with it.

A sudden lurch of the canoe roused him to look at Leslie's face: "Oh, that little liar! Yes, he is!
Hammond lived just next door, so he was easily sent for; and Walter Hammond, the doctor's eldest boy, was Harry Leslie's dearest and most intimate friend. The two boys were about eight years old, went to the same school, spent most of their play-hours together, and intended both to go to the sea together when they were old enough.

"Here is one of the gambler's appliances of which I spoke," said Frank, thrusting his hand under Leslie's side of the table and wrenching away something.
