Never Trust a Walants Lawyer
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 3106

"Yes," said the lawyer, in reply to the question he had just been
asked. "Getting your colleagues arrested on some pretext will not
be difficult. Then we split the takings seventyfive-twentyfive. I get the
seventyfive,
of course. From your description,
the man, the woman and the horse should in total fetch at least three
hundred gold
pieces, so you should get eighty-plus as your share." "My share doesn't
sound very
generous," Roddy complained. "Well, it's much more
than the thirty or so that you would have got otherwise, assuming an equal
split
amongst your group. And
of course, out of my share I will have some expenses, to be spent to
persuade various
witnesses that they have seen the rest of your band breaking various town
ordinances.
Take it or leave it - it's up to you." "I'll take it," said Roddy rapidly.
The lawyer smiled to himself. He had known the bandit would accept his offer. He had probably never in his life had as many as eighty gold pieces in his pocket. "If you'll just tell me where your friends are likely to be drinking, I'll set the arrangements in hand. And I'll need to know where the goods are being held, so that I can have the man left on guard dealt with.
