There they stood listening, while I held my breath. Then I heard 'Nix, mein freund, and the two went back, the naval officer's boots slipping on the gravel. They did not leave the platform together. The man from the sea bade a short farewell to the Portuguese Jew, listening, I thought, impatiently to his final message as if eager to be gone.
That's a good motto for you to paste up over your desk. 'Nix, says I. 'If I didn't mind everybody else's biz in this office the whole joint would go to grass. And that's right.

He had not yet reached it, when the maid-servant came out of the house, and cried to him to rejoice, for his wife had given birth to a little boy.

I got a thousand dollars right here," he pulled out a packet of bills from his hip pocket, and held them up for the other's inspection "an' them dollars says ther's gold on your claim. An' I'm yearnin' to touch ha'f that gold. But I'm takin' no chances. I want it all wrote down reg'lar so folks can't say I sneaked around you, an' got it for nix.
