A Millionaire of Yesterday

CHAPTER XXXI
10/16

But what harm can he do, for you are his master?
He is a thief and you know it.

Surely you can do with him what you will.
"Trent was here yesterday and heard for the first time of his flight.
How he took it I cannot tell you, for I was not the one to tell him, but this I know for a fact.

He cabled to Capetown offering 100 pounds if the Star Line steamer leaving to-morrow would call for him here.

Hiram, he is a great man, this Trent.

I hate him, for he has spoilt much trade for me, and he treats me as though I were the dirt under his feet, but never a man before who has set foot upon the Coast could have done what he has done.
