"You can't tell me anything about this scheme that you've not told me before," declared Cressler. "You'll win, of course. Crookes & Co. are like Rothschild--earthquakes couldn't budge 'em. But I promised myself years ago to keep out of the speculative market, and I mean to stick by it." "Oh, get on with you, Charlie," said Freye, good-humouredly, "you're scared."
