St.-George sniffed the air. 'Shit? Where? Who has been shitting?' This, being a sort of joke, was a signal that Jack could now offer to buy St.-George something, as a token of friendship. After some negotiations, St.-George agreed to be the recipient of Jack's generosity – but not because he needed it – only because it was inherent in human nature that one must from time to time give things away, and at such times, one needed someone to give things away to, and part of being a good friend was to be that someone, as needed. Then there were negotiations about what Jack was going to buy. St.-George's objective was to figure out how much money Jack was carrying – Jack's was to keep St.-George wanting to know more. In the end, for tactical reasons, St.-George agreed to allow Jack to buy him some coffee – but it had to be from a particular vendor named Christopher.
