"I have not so much money, I cannot give it you now. Listen to me. You
cannot sell the pearl, I can, what is the good of keeping it?"
Kylis knew this was correct. Amos had a far better chance of disposing
of it than they had.
"What will you give us?" asked Kylis.
"Ten pounds each, and twenty pounds each if I sell it for a good price."
Kylis called to Miah, who told him to take it.
They agreed to this, and Amos Hooker went to get the money, well
satisfied with his bargain, for he had no intention of giving them any
more money when he sold it.
