"Wretch that you are!"

"Come, come, colonel, don't let's quarrel. The Kingdom of Satan divided

against itself cannot stand. Do not let us lose time by falling out. I

will get rid of the girl. You, before you go, must hand over the tin,

lest you should fall in battle and your heirs dispute the debt! Shell

out, my colonel! Shell out and never fear! Capitola shall be a wife and

Black Donald a widower before many weeks shall pass."

"I'll do it! I have no time for disputation, as you know, and you

profit by the knowledge. I'll do it, though under protest," muttered Le

Noir, grinding his teeth.

"That's my brave and generous patron!" said Black Donald, as he arose

to attend Le Noir from the cavern; "that's my magnificent colonel of

cavalry! The man who runs such risks for you should be very handsomely

remunerated!"
