Quote #10
Now Tamkin and he were equal partners, but Tamkin had put up only three hundred dollars. Suppose he did this not only once but five times; then an investment of fifteen hundred dollars gave him five thousand to speculate with. If he had power of attorney in every case, he could shift the money from one account to another. No, the German probably kept an eye on him. (5.36)
Too late, Wilhelm begins to realize how easy it would be for Tamkin to use his money in whatever way he pleases. Although we never do learn if Tamkin is running a scheme like this one, the possibility hovers over the novel like an extra dark cloud on an already cloudy day.
