NED
The children are distressed
Chapter 11
Pausing by the open door of the Silver Cloud, Harry pulled ten thousand dollars in cash from the breast pocket of his suit,
2And showed it to the children,
3Whose eyes suddenly shone like fire for the first time since Harry had arrived,
4And several of them reached out their hands as if to take the money,
5But Harry merely laughed and put it back in his pocket, saying, Truly, I am sorry,
6For I would like to give you the money,
7But I could not forgive myself if I had played a part in corrupting you,
8And I know that cGreat Idealists such as yourselves would not wish to burden the dconscience of another by ecompromising your principles in this fashion.
