And first the money!" He searched Julio's pocket, and found in it one hundred and twenty crowns.
After counting them on the table, he exclaimed: "Eighty crowns spent already! It is impossible.

He has either lost them at the gaming-table, or been robbed while he was sleeping in the tavern." Still doubtful, he examined his garments, and found in a purse under his girdle the twenty crowns which he had destined for his mother.
"Ah, ah!" said Simon, laughing; "I had not all; I hear the sound of gold." He put the twenty crowns with the rest of the money, and having satisfied himself that no more remained on the person of Julio, he was about to transfer the crowns to his pocket, when a sudden idea occurred to his mind.
"If I leave all this money on his person, they might think he had been paid to commit the deed; if I leave nothing, there will be no reason to conclude that he killed the Signor Geronimo to rob him.

I wonder how much money Geronimo generally carried about him.

I should suppose five or six crowns, or perhaps ten.
