I wanted that five thousand dollars for her, and to her it shall go; not one penny to you, or to me, or to any other human being.

The Rebellion is over: that money wouldn't have altered things one way or another.

It's mine, and if anything happens to me--" He suddenly stooped down and caught her hands, looking her in the eyes steadily.
"Christine," he said, "I want you never to ask me to spend a penny of that money; and I want you to promise me, by the name of the Virgin Mary, that you'll see my sister gets it, and that you'll never let her or any one else know where it came from.

Come, Christine, will you do it for me?
I know it's very little indeed I give you, and you're giving me everything; but some people are born to be debtors in this world, and some to be creditors, and some give all and get little, because--" She interrupted him.
"Because they love as I love you," she said, throwing her arms round his neck.

"Show me where the money is, and I'll do all you say, if--" "Yes, if anything happens to me," he said, and dropped his hand caressingly upon her head.
