"Is it a go ?" A little stupefied by the suddenness of it all, Curly opened his mouth and stared.
"Is it a go ?" repeated Aldous.

"Including blankets, saddles, pack-saddles, ropes, and canvases ?" Curly nodded, looking from Aldous to Stevens to see if he could detect anything that looked like a joke.
"Hit's a go," he said.
Aldous handed him a check for sixteen hundred and eighty dollars.
"Make out the bill of sale to Stevens," he said.

"I'm paying for them, but they're Stevens' horses.

And, look here, Curly, I'm buying them only with your agreement that you'll say nothing about who paid for them.

Will you agree to that ?" Curly was joyously looking at the check.
"Gyve me a Bible," he demanded.
