I can have Felix Marchand put in the jug, and make his old father, Hector Marchand, sick; but I like old Hector Marchand, and I think he's bred as bad a pup as ever was.

I'm going to try and do with this business as you did with that watch.

I'm going to try and turn it to account and profit in the end.

Felix Marchand's profiting by a mistake of mine--a mistake in policy.

It gives him his springboard; and there's enough dry grass in both towns to get a big blaze with a very little match.
