"Gentlemen," said Ukridge, "It would seem that the company requires more capital. Hw about it, old horses? Let's get together in a frank, business-like cards-on-the-table spirit, and see what can be done. I can raise ten bob."
"What!" cried the entire assembled company, amazed. "How?"
"I'll pawn a banjo."
"You haven't got a banjo."
"No, but George Tupper has, and I know where he keeps it."
