Well, it is possible to sell it, I make no doubt, because it is well situated and will increase in value; but what, do you mean by immediately?" "To-night," said Will. "Impossible." "What's to be done?" cried our hero, turning to Captain Dall with a look of such perplexity and disappointment that even the hard heart of Mr Zulino was touched. "Why such haste?" he inquired.
Mr Zulino, as he was named, received his visitor with his wonted crustiness mingled with surprise, which was somewhat increased when he found that Will could not give a very comprehensible reason for his sudden return to the city.
My friend here, Captain Dall, will see that you are regularly paid. I assure you that I shall never forget the obligation." "Follow me," said Mr Zulino, rising and putting on his hat.
He led them to the office of a man who appeared to be connected with the law, and who drew up a paper which, being duly signed and witnessed, Mr Zulino put in his pocket, at the same time handing Will Osten a cheque for four hundred pounds. "Now, captain," said Will, with a deep sigh of relief, as they, once more issued into the street, "we'll go and enjoy our supper."
A few minutes more and they stood in the presence of Mr Zulino. "Is it possible," said Will, with an anxious expression of face, "to sell the property in Grizzly Bear Gulch immediately?" The dry visage of the agent wrinkled into a sarcastic smile as he replied "Ha! I see, you are like all the rest wish to turn everything into gold.
"It is plain we can make nothing out of Mr Zulino," said Will, with a look of chagrin, on quitting the office. "Come, let us go hunt up the hotels." "Agreed," cried Captain Dall. Mr Cupples groaned his readiness to follow, so they set off.
