You are in a place where a man's life has been taken for the sake of his gold sleeve-buttons." "Stay yet a moment," said Middlemas "Let me remove this temptation from my dangerous neighbours."
Why I mention this circumstance particularly, is, that having felt great inconvenience for want of sleeve-buttons to hold the wristbands of my shirt together, I had thought of making use of those of the mate, which the reader may recollect had been given with his watch into Jackson's care, to take home to his wife; but on second consideration I thought it very possible I might lose them, and decided that the property was in trust, and that I had no right to risk it.
