if you are cautious

    "Haven’t you any pity for an old friend?"
    "Yes, I’ll give you all the pity you want, but when it comes to money it’s a different matter. Here you are, a man of twenty six, ten years older than me, and yet you expect me to help support you."
    "You didn’t use to talk to me like that."
    "Well, I do now. You didn’t use to try to get money out of me."
    "Look here, Jasper! I am poor, but I don’t want you to talk to me as you are doing."
    "Indeed!" sneered Jasper.
    "And I won’t have it," said Carton firmly. "Listen to me, and I will propose a plan that will help us both."
    "What is it?"
    "You can easily secrete articles, if you are cautious, without attracting notice, and I will dispose of them and share the money with you."
    Jasper shook his head.
    "I wouldn’t dare to do it" he said. "Somebody might spy on me."
    "Not if you are careful."
    "If it were found out I would be bounced like Ropes."
    "What is he doing? Have you seen him lately?"
    "He is getting on finely. He is earning fifteen dollars a week."
    "You don’t mean it?"
    "Yes I do."
