From The Finger of God by Percival Wilde

male · dark · 1:24 min

Stevens, please. I don't know what sent you: who sent you: but you've come here to-night as I am running away. You're too late. You can't stop me. Not even the finger of God Himself could stop me! I've gone too far. Here is money! Hundreds of thousands of it, not a cent of it mine! And I'm stealing it, do you understand me? Stealing it! To-morrow the firm will be bankrupt, and there'll be a reward out for me. Here, if you please, is your honest man! What have you to say to him? The Girl. The man who has been honest so long that he has made himself think that he is honest can't steal!
