"Will you lend me five thousand
pounds? In a few weeks I shall
be able to repay you."
Joel laughed harshly.
"I never lend money unless I see
a return for doing so. I sometimes
rive it away, but I usually get a
quid pro quo. You rather amuse
me, Mr. Acksoyd. You are not
strong enough to play the villain,
you had better try an easier role."
"You are forcing me to do what

Still Aekroyd would not budge.
