Can you give information of that sort ?" "I can give a certain piece of information, guv'nor," said Spurge.
"Whether it'll lead to the finding of that there gentleman or not I can't say.

But something I do know--certain sure!" Copplestone reflected awhile.
"Ill tell you what, Spurge," he said.

"I'll promise you this much.

If you can give any information I'll give you my word that--whether what you can tell is worth much or little--you shall be well paid.

That do ?" "That'll do, guv'nor," responded Spurge.
