If you'll forgive and forget, I'll do the same.
You tried my life once, and that's worse than ever I did for you. And now I'll tell you, that if you want money to get out of the country and set up anywhere else, and leave your poor wife in peace, I'll find it for you out of my own pocket."

I suppose you won't peach about having seen me here ?" "I shan't say a word, George, if you keep clear of the home station; but I won't have you come about there.
