I told him not all: the psaltery: 'Well, what of that? 'Twas not mine, but his; I would pay him the price of it. 'Then throw me a rix dollar, said he. I counted out my coins, and they came to a rix dollar and two batzen. I threw him up his money in three throws, and when he had got it all he said, softly, 'Bon Bec. 'Master, said I.
