"I didn't see it, Jubal.  Does it matter?  There are a dozen ways they could cut from the herd the ones they wanted as long as Mike knew which they were and had worked out some way to signal Duke.  I don't know.  Patty says he's clairvoyant and says it with a straight face - and, do you know, I won't discount the possibility.  But right after that, they took the collection.  Mike didn't do even this in church style - you know, soft music and dignified ushers.  He said nobody would believe that this was a church service if be didn't take a collection... so he would, but with a difference.  Either take it or put it - suit yourself.  Then, so help me, they passed collection baskets already loaded with money.  Mike kept telling them that this was what the last crowd had left, so help themselves... if they were broke or hungry and needed it.  But if they felt like giving... give.  Share with others.  Just do one or the other - put something in, or take something out.  When I saw it, I figured he had found one more way to get rid of too much money."
