"Very good of you," answered Prince Shadursky, smiling gayly, and giving him a chair. "To lose no time over trifles," continued Mr. Escrocevitch, "let me invite you to my quarters. I am staying at a hotel; you can see the goods there; you can make tests, and, if you are satisfied, I shall be very happy to oblige your excellency."
"Would not your excellency be so good as to choose one of these bags to make a test? It will be much better if you see yourself that the business is above board, with no swindle about it. Choose whichever you wish!" Shadursky lifted one of the bags from the trunk, and when Mr.
He doesn't know where to turn and rather than take his gold back with him, he would willingly let it go at an even lower rate than the smugglers generally ask.

Whatever you may say, fifty per cent on your capital in a month and a half is pretty good business." "Deuce take it!
