Byrne was holding up to her a yellow-backed copy of Einsame Menschen, and she was humming the air of the Russian folk-song printed on the front page, frowning, nodding with her head, and beating time with her hand to get the rhythm of the song. She turned suddenly to him, and shook her head, laughing. 'I can't get it it's no use.
And Locke had come aboard the schooner with a roll of yellow-backed bills so big that he could hold in his hand more wealth than all the ship's company together could earn in a year of honest labour. Trask almost wished he had declined to go in with Locke on the trip to the island.
Then, "I've met her at last," he said. "It makes me believe in Fate." Katherine's pretty lips parted in amazement. "Goodness! Are you often taken this way!" she gasped.

"Good!" said Doc Madison and from the inside pocket of his coat he pulled out a package of crisp, new, yellow-backed bills. "You understand that down there none of you ever heard of each other or of me before, and you drop the 'doc' bury it! My name is John G. Madison G. for Garfield." His fingers passed deftly over the edges of the bills.
